# tail -f /var/log/messages
# tail -f /var/log/secure

Do both of those in separate windows, and do your ssh in a third window.

Take note of new lines appearing as you attempt login.

something is likely wrong/broken in a PAM audit some'ere's, and it affects everyone...

So, I have a question. I have a box that's showing some rather peculiar symptoms. When I ssh to it, I get a login prompt, followed by "access denied" followed by a password request. Followed by a bash prompt. 

So...if access was denied, why did you just give me access? And why do I get the same behavior when I use the root login? Anybody seen something like this? 

(attaching a screenshot of the error:)
