Yep. Same symptoms. I cannot use login to log in as freddy, a
newly created user.

create another user...and try.
did you ever manually edit /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow so perhaps there's

Nope. I only used useradd, userdel, passwd, usermod, and the Gnome
tools.
I just tried with another user name, and it fails the same exact
way.

can you su ?
su - freddy

Yep, no problem.
In one window...
[root@Presario-1 root]# useradd freddy
[root@Presario-1 root]# passwd freddy
Changing password for user freddy.
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
[root@Presario-1 root]#
In another window...
[jmccarty@Presario-1 jmccarty]$ su - freddy
Password:
[freddy@Presario-1 freddy]$ pwd
/home/freddy
[freddy@Presario-1 freddy]$ whoami
freddy
[freddy@Presario-1 freddy]$

[jmccarty@Presario-1 jmccarty]$ login
login: freddy
Password:
Login incorrect
login:

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
