Can't login anymore

I get to the login prompt and  type in user and password. There's a message "Last logged in at bla bla.." and then I'm returned to the login prompt.

I can login as root, but I don't want to do that at all. I tried resetting the password for user (passwd <user>) and it's accepted, but I still can't login.

What file must I edit?

Re: Can't login anymore

My guess would be the user doesn't have a valid shell listed as their default.

type:

usermod -s /bin/bash user's_name

as root. You want to replace user's_name with the name of the user your having trouble loging in with.
