Sorry, forgot the xml in my previous mail. Anyways, here's a new q&a,
this time with xml.

<section>
    <title>
        I have installed openssh on my box, but can only log in as
        root - my normal user accounts doesn't work.
    </title>

    <body>
        <p>
            This is most probably because your user account doesn't have
            a valid shell specified. Check for your user entry in 
            <path>/etc/passwd</path> and see if it ends in /bin/bash 
            (or any other shell). If it doesn't, you must set a shell
            for the user. This is done using the usermod command, like
            this ;
        </p>

        <pre># <i>usermod -s /bin/bash myuser</i></pre>
    </body>
</section>
