Possibly a permissions problem. Check the permissions for the user's home
directory.
Can you su into a user from the root login?

all of a sudden, i am only able to login as root. this is not something
i was trying to accomplish, and at a loss in figuring out how i did. anyway.
as a given, login as a valid user, with correct password, terminated
immediately, with a new login prompt. invalid login attempts iterate until a
new session initiated.
ftp, and smtp allowed, telnet fails.
i'm not seeing anything mentioned in the logs with regard to failed
normal user login. i'm at a loss as to where i might start looking.
any thoughts, suggestion would be much appreciated ...
