OK, please look at the /etc/passwd entry for valid_user:
grep valid_user: /etc/passwd
Make sure that there is an encrypted password in the password
field. If you aren't sure, please send your /etc/passwd file
(or at least the entry for valid_user) to me in private email
for me to look at. At the moment, I'm shooting blind.
If you are using shadow passwords, please send me the appropriate
entry from your /etc/shadow file as well.
