Alex, Thank you very much. It works now after running system-config-authentication and eliminating those unnecessary. It seems turning on any of the authentication of LDAP, Kobero or SMB will make the login failed.

Following is basic auth configuration: $ cat /etc/sysconfig/authconfig USECRACKLIB=yes USEDB=no USEHESIOD=no USELDAP=no USENIS=no USEPASSWDQC=no USEWINBIND=no USEKERBEROS=no USELDAPAUTH=no USEMD5=yes USESHADOW=yes USESMBAUTH=no which uses only the local system and no other host resources.
