Been fighting this for a while.  We have an older server, running

succeed, and I can continue get a login: prompt on the console until
I enter a login at which the response stops.

I think you're seeing the UFS deadlock I reported last November for RELENG_6. See the thread beginning at http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2005-November/019979.html

I believe this issue has made it onto the show-stopper list for 6.1-RELEASE and is being actively worked on.
