Hello,

'Error in service module' indicates a fatal error in the PAM environment,
typically one that can't be explained or recovered from. E.g., PAM returns
this if no conversation function is available; individual modules may return
this error if the application fails to provide a username, if the current user
can't be identified, etc.

What does your PAM config file look like? (/etc/pam.d/login, or /etc/pam.conf)
This may provide further clues as to the nature of the problem. Also, what
OS/distribution are you running?
