I don't know about motd, but the rest looks like pam problem to me, if you're using pam, of course. Try 'euse -i pam' to see if it's enabled. If that's the case, first of all I'd suggest to check etc-update. Then look through /etc/pam.d, especially system-* files. There you can remove some of the required (for successfull authentication) modules, so their failure won't affect the process.
Yeah. It is my feeling too that pam may be a problem. I've been comparing the system files against my other gentoo machine and they are just the same. However the fact that motd appears twice even when I login as root continues to puzzle me. I've checked all user accounts and only 3 out of 37 accounts have the login/su problem. I will create some new accounts and see what happens.
