Is the user account you are trying a newly created account?

maybe
Code:
usermod -x "{administrativeLockApplied 0}" <username>

to unlock it?

I have no "-x" option with usermod...

Code:
bash-2.05a# usermod -x "{administrativeLockApplied 0}" roberto
Usage: usermod [ -u uid ] [ -g group ] [ -G group1,group2 ... ] [-d dir [ -m ] ] [ -s shell ] [ -c comment ] [ -l new_name ] [ -e expire ] [ -r role1,role2 ... ] login

most strange, I thought AIX had POSIX compliant utilities.
Had a google around and found a lot of complaints regarding this exact same problem, it seems there is maybe an imbalance between the os level (I think AIX calls it ML) and the version of openssh.
Another solution was to ensure that the user had a primary group set (I think there is an AIX command for checking users, usrck?? or look in smitty).

I tried with

Code:
bash-2.05a# usrck -n roberto
bash-2.05a#

so I think there is no problem with my user ("-n" reports errors but does not fix them)...

Has this ssh login for normal users worked before? Did anything change in the server e.g. oslevel, OpenSSH and/or OpenSSL?

This ssh login hasn't worked before, and I can't understand what is the problem... Smilie

Can you update OpenSSH and OpenSSL to the current versions? You can find the official IBM OpenSSH packages here:

and OpenSSL here (free registration required):
