I've seen exactly the same on a few <= 2.4.30 systems... New logins via ssh or directly on the console, won't work at all (both via pam). It seems that this behavior was related to the syslog-ng daemon, which hangs completely. As soon as the daemon gets restarted, everything comes back to work as before. Unfortunately I didn't had the time (yet) to discover what causes the syslog hanging :(
