I use FC2 with GNOME. I used at first the command-line I/F since
I'm more familiar and more comfortable with that technique of
sys admin.

I also did that and got the same result here with FC4.
There's nothing related to that in
/var/log/secure
/var/log/messages
/var/log/audit/audit.log
Couldn't find anything helpful in
rpm -q --changelog util-linux | grep login
<search>
site:bugzilla.redhat.com
Then I thought of how one could strace `login` ? ? ?
Hopefully someone else can tell what's happening.
