Sounds to me like an issue with 'pam', and that you're fix will be in
/etc/pam.d.

systemd-logind

/var/log/auth.log

As a helpful hint, if you know a general time for which a logging
event might have occurred, use gre to help you find logs with entries
for that general time. For example:

grep -rl "^May 16 06:5" /var/log

For the most recently modified log, sorted by time:

ls -Rlt /var/log | less

The list has been recently discussing a minimal livecd build of devuan that
might be useful for you for this. It's a ~250Mb dowloaded from

http://devuan.kalos.mine.nu/

Read the web page for how to use it, and for how to run it in qemu.
