Thank you so much for helping me out! I created a .password-file in lotta's home directory and gave it the right permission and owners, and it did the trick. I am now able to login as lotta.
I have no idea why this password package is used (checkpw), but I will swap to checkpassword immediately. Am I correct that the only place to change this is in the xinetd run file, changing from /bin/checkpw to /bin/checkpassword? As a matter of fact there is no /bin/checkpw at all!? Strange.
