Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

(Distro: Xubuntu)I'm able to login to my X session, and sudo password is also working; however, when I switch to tty1 or 2 3... it doesn't allow me to login....
Code:
Oct 22 18:36:08 computer1 login[1216]: pam_unix(login:auth): authentication failure; logname=LOGIN uid=0 euid=0 tty=/dev/tty1 ruser= rhost= user=john
Oct 22 18:36:10 computer1 login[1216]: FAILED LOGIN (1) on '/dev/tty1' FOR 'john', Authentication failure
Oct 22 18:36:22 computer1 login[1216]: FAILED LOGIN (2) on '/dev/tty1' FOR 'john', Authentication failure
oh, and /etc/security/access.conf is commented out completely
Could you explain it little more, how are you switching between tty's? and what protocol you're using i.e. ssh or what? Is password OK?
There could be a pb with entries in /etc/hosts.equiv or .rhosts, if you're remotely accessing this machine.

I switch to tty's from the gui (ctrl+alt+F1..F6). No problem login in remoteletly through ssh.
