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.

Try to restart the SSH service service sshd restart You can also check the /etc/ssh/ssh_config and /etc/ssh/sshd_config files also. SSH is controlled by these files. Moreover create one more user try to login the new user through SSH and also from the FC1 machine also.I Regards Ankush
