After creating the user, I had to issue again passwd command to create/change/encrypt password and the user can now login. Also in /etc/shadow file the users password is encrypted. Thanks for all the suggestions. ;-) Actually I am following the example from a book. It is not clearly mentioned about the password encryption thing, so I was king of expecting that user can be created in single command line like what I have posted before. So that means GUI user manager does this in two separate steps, I guess (create user, create password) right?
