My system developed a problem after I transitioned to systemd. Whenever I try to login on one of the six virtual terminals, I am made to enter the password twice. The password MUST be correct both times, otherwise I am not allowed to login.
This is how a typical interaction goes:
Arch Linux 3.5.4-1-ARCH (tty2)
Prash5 login: prash
Password:
Password:
Last login: Sat Sep 22 14:53:22 CEST 2012 on tty2
Last login: Sat Sep 22 14:53:32 on tty2
[0 prash ~]
%
Any idea what could be causing this?

There was a file called "login.orig" which had the same content as "login"... just different spaces. I deleted that and rebooted. The problem remains unchanged.
Checking with pacman shows that each of the remaining files belongs to an installed package. I have pasted the output.

Indeed! Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Somehow I missed the post when I searched the forums. I am marking it as solved now.
Quick note for anyone else who stumbles upon this thread:
% cd /etc/pam.d
% sudo mv login login-bak
% sudo pacman -S util-linux
