user can't connect to server over ssh, but root can...
when I entered user name and password, server gave me the message

Quote:

Connection to my_servers_hostname closed by remote host

but with root, it's ok... no problems to connect...

try 'ssh -v host' and look at the output for clues

I didnt think you can login ssh remotely with root.. but anyways... try deleting the user and recreating the user again with default values... this happend to me once.. and its what i did and it worked.. unless you are blocking certain ips that looks like theres

Looks to me like your shell is logging you out for whatever reason. Can you log into the user account using telnet? What shell is the user configured to use in /etc/passwd (the last field)?

telnet is not running there... and all users has /bin/bash shell... root`s shell is /bin/bash too... chmod of shell is 755...
