Hello,

thank you all for replies. The most of postings advices to check with
the permissions of the shell. That was checked.

The actual cause was in the configuration of login.access file, which
allowed only members of the group 'wheel' to logon from console.

Thank you all for support, and local FreeBSD 2.1.0 continues to run 
with 3 reboots since March '96.

Have fun. Dima.
