Help with login problem!

[Ankush Grover]

When I try to ssh to the said account, it doesn't work. The connection
opens, accepts my password and then closes instantly. Trying to "su -
newuser" or "su newuser" result in a "could not open session"
Interestingly enough, FTP does work!

Hey,

Can you login into the machine without going through SSH,if you are
able to do so then the problem is with SSH.

Try to restart the SSH service 

service sshd restart


You can also check the  /etc/ssh/ssh_config and /etc/ssh/sshd_config files also.
SSH is controlled by these files.

Moreover create one more user try to login the new user through SSH
and also from the FC1 machine also.I
