ntsec is needed for a successful context switch, regardless of the FS type. However, ntsec is on by default. If you want to use login from the command line, you have to give the above rights to the user calling login, not to the user you want to change to. Note that this is highly discouraged, though. You'd have to give dangerous rights to otherwise unprivileged accounts, making them privileged accounts through the back door. Start an ssh daemon and use that for switching user context.
