So I think it doesn't have anything to do with the message.
Output from dmesg is attached.

BTW: when I tried to scp the dmesg file from remote SL6.0, the label appeared again just before the request for user's password. Does it have something to do with SSH?

Hello:

All SL6.0 local systems have SELinux disabled. "Access denied" label is shown in the text mode logon screen.

Thanks.

       Hello:

       Please notice I started to receive the output "Access denied" between
       "Login as:" and "Password" at logon process. Local systems allow users
       to login anyway but the label makes them to complain and ask why.

       Have anyone seen this behavior?


   I have not seen it, but it seems likely to be a SELinux problem.  Is SELinux in Enforcing mode?  Anything in the logs?
