Other users can't log in

Hi, I created 3 users today, and tried to test them. Well, when I'm trying to log in with a new user account, I only see a blue screen and mouse cursor, after a while it takes me back to log in screen. So I can log in just with my old account. What's wrong? Hope you will help me, thanx

There is often a problem with new users when you're using some Desktop Environment. Have you set the password properly to those users ? Check also if they, are the members of the same group as your user using

Code:

$ groups

Check also if the home directiories for the new users have the proper owner...

Then switch it off. You can also try to press CTRL-ALT-Backspace. Maybe it works at the second attempt.
