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. Permissions for the home directory are fine too. Any help/tips appreciated!
