SSH User can't log in.

I created a new user for someone to log in with but the account can't never log in.  I changed the sshd_config, I gave it a password, he is in the passwd file.  I can see him in webmin and account is enabled, tried adding to a group and still can't log in.

Running Solaris 8 2/02 Sparc.

Every time I try to log in through ssh I get access denied.

Maybe the ssh daemon doesn't allow password authentication
check in sshd.config for password_authentication

none of these work and the person is already in the allowusers.  I still am getting access denied and am not seeing anything new in the messages log about it.

Check shell the /etc/passwd file.
