Unable to logging into my own account in oracle linux 6 server
Hi
I am trying to logging into my own account using "ssh [email protected]" and the result I have is
"Permission denied, please try again." But if I am root and do "su - user" I am able to login.
Please can you give me an hint in waht could be wrong?

Hi.
"su - user" - do not ask user password, but "ssh [email protected]" - should do it.
Check that you set user password.
Run command as root: "grep user /etc/shadow"
In case line start "user:*: " or "user:!:" - it's mean that password is not set.
Use command: "passwd user" for set password.
In case line start "user:!!" - it's mean that user is locked.
Use command: "passwd -u user" for unlock user.

Nik
