Hello all,
I set up a new FC1 machine yesterday and created a user "newuser"
using "adduser newuser" and changed its password.
When I try to ssh to the said account, it doesn't work. The connection
opens, accepts my password and then closes instantly. Trying to "su -
newuser" or "su newuser" result in a "could not open session"
Interestingly enough, FTP does work!
Googling seems to point to permissions problem but I can't figure out
where or what. The /etc/passwd is 644, /etc/group is 644 and
/etc/shadow is 600
Any help/tips appreciated!
More relevant information:
root@(protected) ~$ uname -a
Linux c7504s98.testcompany.com 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl #1 Wed Oct 29
15:42:51 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
SSHD version is "sshd version OpenSSH_3.6.1p2"
My /var/log/messages show these related messages:
Apr 28 17:06:36 c7504s98 su(pam_unix)[4383]: session opened for user
newuser by root(uid=0)

The /var/log/secure file shows the following:

from 127.0.0.1 port 32775 ssh2

Thanks!
