[ale] Console Craziness

[Jay Finch]

I noticed the same thing on my personal Linux box, and found that the 
/etc/securetty didn't have anything listed.  (Or the /etc/login.defs would 
allow any logins from the console)

Check those two files -- That should (hopefully) point you in the proper 
direction.

Cheers!
Jay
