ssh connections fail for regular (non root) users

[Jorge Santos <jsf@ciencias.unam.mx>]

ssh logins to my machine fail with the following errors in the log:

Apr 25 18:31:43 dep3 sshd[3336]: Accepted publickey for jsf from 132.248.133.214 port 1391 ssh2
Apr 25 18:31:43 dep3 ssh(pam_unix)[3338]: session opened for user jsf by (uid=1000)

Apr 25 18:31:43 dep3 sshd[3338]: fatal: PAM session setup failed[6]: Permission denied


See http://bugs.debian.org/159053 for the pam_limits stuff.
