Sometime on Jun 13, rdkoli@excite.com assembled some asciibets to say:
First, a small request to everyone, change your addressbooks to use mm.ilug-bom.org.in instead of hbcse.tifr.res.in as the ilug domain. Please.

First, get into your system (through single if necessary) and check the /var/log/messages file to see what errors occur when you try to log in.
While still in single user mode, try executing the login program to see what happens.
Check /etc/passwd to see what shells are set for your users. Do those shells exist? (/bin/bash)
Check /etc/pam.d/login Some of the libraries that are called from there are probably blocking you.
There's more that I can't think of right now.
