[SOLVED] how to enable ssh access to new user

I have created a new user on arch with "useradd newuser", but the "newuser" is not able to login wit ssh.
I have checked the /etc/passwd, which has this line:
newuser:x:1005:100:newuser,22,111222,111222:/home/newuser:/bin/bash
I restarted ssh and even rebooted machine, checked the folder /home/newuser exists, but I still can't login with newuser. On the other hand I can successfully login with "olduser" which is also a normal user (not root) and member of same group (users)...
What am I missing? What is the procedure for creating a new user that can login with ssh?

Thank you very much!

Re: [SOLVED] how to enable ssh access to new user

Did you add him to "AllowUsers" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config ?

What happens when you try to login? What is the message printed?

adding the user to AllowUsers in /etc/ssh/sshd_config solved the issue.
Thank you Ramses de Norre!

If you don't mind, change the subject of your thread to include

So other folks with the same issue can easily find an answer.
