I attempted to create an new user account that I wish to use to log in using ssh.
I did this (in CentOs):
/usr/sbin/adduser -d /home/testaccount -s /bin/bash user
passwd testaccount
This is the error I receive when trying to log in via ssh:
~/.ssh$ ssh -v

testaccount@xxx's password:
Connection closed by xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
The "connection closed" message appeared immediately after entering the password
(if I enter the wrong password it waits and then prompts for another password)
I am able to log in from the same computer using other accounts that had been setup previously.
When logged into the remote machine I am able to do 'su testaccount'
Thanks for your time.
