Subject: [gentoo-user] Newly created user can't ssh in but others can?

1 I have had my server for several years, I haven't added a new user in
2 probably 6 months or more. I tried to add one last night and all seemed
3 fine. However it can't login via ssh (not at a console, so I don't know
4 about that way) but existing accounts can.

6 I've tried changing the passwd to 'foo' (just something simple) and I keep
7 getting the "Password:" prompt over and over. But if I ssh in to say, my
8 account, it works fine.
9
10 Ideas?
11
12 /home looks like:
13
14 drwxr-xr-x 4 joe users 4096 Nov 17 11:42 joe
15 drwx--x--x 29 daevid users 4096 Nov 17 02:08 daevid
16
17 daevid home # passwd joe
18 New UNIX password: 'foo'
19 BAD PASSWORD: it is WAY too short
20 Retype new UNIX password: 'foo'
21 passwd: password updated successfully
22
23 daevid home # ssh joe@localhost
24 Password: 'foo'
25 Password: 'foo'
26 ...
27
28 daevid home # ssh daevid@localhost
29 Password: 'secret'
