So currently I cannot logon as root via the console but interestingly enough I can logon as normal user to X (started by xdm) and in an X terminal I can switch to root using su which accepts the root's pw. If I try to log on to the console as root, the logon simply hangs -does not even ask for a password. I haven't tried the console logon as normal user but will do this evening. Till then, if anyone has any hint, I'd appreciate that!

I think that /etc/ttys was (accidently!) overwritten, probably you'll
want something like that (in a unified format, please notice the 4th
column `off' vs `on'):

-ttyE1  "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         wsvt25  off secure
-ttyE2  "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         wsvt25  off secure
-ttyE3  "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         wsvt25  off secure
+ttyE1  "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         wsvt25  on secure
+ttyE2  "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         wsvt25  on secure
+ttyE3  "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         wsvt25  on secure
