Hello all, I recently added a new user to my system, so that he and I could file share - he'll be mostly conecting via ssh or scp'ing files in & out. this part of it has worked just fine so far. Now for the problem: He stopped by the other day, and wanted to log in to do something or other, but kdm kicked him out with a "login failed". Rather than worry about kdm at first, as he doesn't need a GUI, we jumped back to an open vt, and he tried to login. This failed with "permission denied". Now I'm stumped. I added him with the normal adduser program, filling in pertinent details. I can su - "user" and log in as him fine. He can ssh in without a problem. He has an entry in both /etc/groups and /etc/shadow. None of the other users have this problem. I really can't figure out where the problem is - it seems to me like a PAM issue, but just looking through the conf files, I don't see anything that is set up to exclude all but listed users, or include only some users - that is, I see that it can be done in various files, but I have not changed them from their commented out original state. Running Sid, up to date as of today. Help? Steve -- T-shirt: Life is *not* a Cabaret, and stop calling me chum!
