agetty's problem? or login's problem?(solved)

Hello all!!

I don't know what happened, I couldn't not login in the virtual console... Everytime i input my username, it will skip the password input step and show me some information about login this command itself. I guess there is a problem with my agetty or login file.

I tried login command: sudo login -p zhe
but it doesn't work, the output is only this

Usage: login [-p] [name]
           login [-p] [-h host] [-f name]
           login [-p] -r host

So I guess my login file has some problem?

Thanks everyone!

copying the login file from directory bin in the installation CD solved the problem, but still it is really odd....
