B*gger me.... # jonesst1, People, vuw.ac.nz dn: uid=jonesst1, ou=People, dc=vuw,dc=ac,dc=nz uid: jonesst1 givenName: steven objectClass: top objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: inetorgperson objectClass: posixAccount sn: jones cn: steven jones uidNumber: 500 gidNumber: 500 homeDirectory: /home/jonesst1 loginShell: /bin/bash I must have had multiple issues and initially I created accounts with a posix user but later as I had re-done fully it sooo many times, I stopped bothering....not realising it could have been an issue. SO I just setup the posix account settings (as shown above) and ssh login now works.... ****slaps self repeatedly***** So under the ssh howtos there needs to be at least some pre-requsits ie full posix setup....
