How to login to sub user?

I installed the Linux and can login with root first.

Then I add a new user with name and password.

But as I try to login as this user with the password, I got error like:

Code:

Access denied

Using keyboard-interactive authentication.

Note: I use putty to connect to the linux.

Can you post your /etc/ssh/sshd_config ?

Someonething's probably wrong in here.

Alternatively just switch user when logged in as root :)

Here is my /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Code:

[root@s005ap02-test ~]# ll /etc/ssh/sshd_config

-rw-------  1 root root 187 Aug 13 11:52 /etc/ssh/sshd_config

[root@s005ap02-test ~]# cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Port 22

Protocol 2

SyslogFacility AUTHPRIV

PermitRootLogin without-password

AllowUsers root a5xsuuser

X11Forwarding no

Subsystem      sftp    /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server

UsePAM yes

[root@s005ap02-test ~]#

I will let this new user for other colleagues, so I don't want to switch via root.

Only those 2 users are allowed.....

I solved my problem. I did followings:
1. Add the user to "sshd_config"
2. Reboot the machine.

Actually, just restarting the sshd service is sufficient. No need to reboot HW, this isn't MS.
