Have you rebooted the machine lately? Try, as root, 'shutdown -c' to
cancel the shutdown. Or you might see if a shutdown is running with 'ps
aux |grep shutdown'. As far as the user logins, make sure you don't have
a file called /etc/nologin or something. If that file exists, it's
contents get cat'ed to the screen when a user tries to login and it kicks
them out.
