Mode 627 is -rw--w-rwx
This means that _anyone_ can:
1) read what you type,
2) write to your terminal
The correct mode should be -rw--w----, ie 620, and owned by root:tty when
no one is using it, or the userid:tty when userid is logged in.
However, as for the "can't login" problems, maybe {g,mini}libc is setup for
the Unix98 PTS system (needs pts filesystem mounted on /dev/pts).
