Much better, thank you. Take a look in "/var/log/messages" and
"/var/log/secure" on the server, and also, try logging into the console of
the SSH server as the non-root user. I've seen some oddnesses when people
created users by hand-editing /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd instead of using
the "useradd" command, especially if they didn't realize that /etc/shadow
was in use and only put in the /etc/passwd entry.

Can you set aside copies of /etc/shadow and run "pwunconv;pwconv" in order
to help flush erroneous debris from your config files? And have you been
hand-modifying any of the PAM files?
