Sounds to me as if someone has been a bit heavy handed trying to lock down the system. Or else the system was installed by copying from somewhere else, but using a method which automatically drops SUID and similar bits.

Re: Only root is able to login
Is root's shell /bin/sh? If not, then something is wrong with /bin/sh. You should have another shell available to do some comparison testing (eg. /bin/csh). Use vipw to change the abc user's shell to say /bin/csh. Can you now login as abc? If so, then something is wrong with /bin/sh. If not, then it implies that the problem is not specifically with /bin/sh. Assume you can login as abc using /bin/csh. Try simply running /bin/sh. Does it work? If not, then again /bin/sh is broke somehow, replace it with /bin/sh from another identical system (I run 4.10, sorry...)
