Daniel, Do the accounts have valid SIDs? Do they belong to groups that have valid SIDs in your /etc/group file? Is the default shell for each user executable by that user? Is a user's home directory accessible by that user? What does adding a '-vvv' flag to ssh show? > Also, when I just use login to log into the new account, I get permission > denied on /bin/bash.
