I created it with adduser as root user. Then gave password. Then chown -R username:username /home/username Then chmod -R 700 /home/username
This happened first time in Ubuntu 10.04 Then I upgraded to 12.04, because I thought that it would solve the problem, but it didn't. Somewhere I found the solution: chage -E -1 username and user account never expires. t.
