Hi Matthew,

> Where should I start looking?

I would start by tailing the logs on the destination host while the user attempts to login with the account that isn't working.  On an EL 7 host you can use 'journalctl -f', on EL 6 and older you can use 'tail -F /var/log/messages /var/log/secure'.

Are you certain this was just a forgotten password (in other words, was the user ever able to login to this particular machine)?  Do you use any HBAC rules in your environment?

Regards,

j
