It is not an ssh problem as ssh seems to be doing it's job, once it get's to the point where it provides a login shell, it has already done everything it does. Do you see the motd of a new mail message before you are disconnected?
At a minimum, the user's home directory must be owner executable (ex: chmod 700 <directory>) and the user must have read & execute bits on the bash executable. (ex: chmod 555 /bin/bash)
Next check the contents of your rc files, $HOME/.bash_profile, $HOME/.bashrc, $HOME/.profile and also check /etc/profile
If these all seem fine, determine every package/rpm you have installed since the system was installed and determine if something was hosed that way.
Also, one thing to try, if you are on the console, can you su to the user in question: 'su - <username>' ? If you are unable to login in, boot into single user mode and take a look.
Hope this helps,

We have a fresh installation of RedHat 7.3 running Oracle 8.1.7. I had it all running when this morning I noticed our Big Brother alert me that no reports were being received.I tried to ssh (even tried ftp) and am getting the following error message Could not chdir to home directory /home/user_name: Permission denied /bin/bash: Permission denied Connection to server closed. --- I checked the rights and am confused. It looks like the rights are fine and sshd is running on the server side. I tried the same thing from the console. Same problem. I suspect a pam problem but am unsure how to go about checking it. Thoughts? Much appreciated.
