For a while I was setting up my FreeBSD system and therefore I logged in
as root all the time. Recently I've tried to login as guest, or anyone
else belonging to group number other than 0, and I kept getting the
following:
login: test

FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE
Welcome to FreeBSD!
login: /bin/bash: Permission denied
login:
Changing group for guest to wheel (0) allowed me to get in, but this is
obviously not an acceptable solution.
I've looked in man pages, tried restoring initial configuration of all
files in /etc directory, but had no luck. After installing fresh new copy
of FreeBSD on another drive and booting from it, I could log-in as guest
with no problems. The reason for this problem must be in some change that
I've made somewhere in the system setup, but I can't figure out what or
where.
Please help!
