Cannot log into any account other than root




When I installed Debian, I selected shadow password and MD5.

I can "adduser" and the entries appear in the /etc/passwd
and /etc/shadow files as I expect to see them.

However, when I try to log in as that user, the system
pauses (for a few seconds) after I enter the password
and then tells me "Login incorrect".

Can someone help me understand why I can log in as
root and not as a user? Do I need to download PAM?

Thanks -- Randy
