run su - richard at the command line as root and note the error messages ... make sure user richard is able to read and write to his/her directory ...

if okay, check user's /etc/passwd listing as well as compare the user's account settings with other user accounts that have no issues ...

really the only reason a user cannot login on a server is a misconfiguration on the user account in some way ...

USERDEL(8)						      System Manager's Manual							USERDEL(8)

NAME
userdel - Delete a user account and related files SYNOPSIS
userdel [-r] login DESCRIPTION
The userdel command modifies the system account files, deleting all entries that refer to login. The named user must exist. The options which apply to the userdel command are: -r Files in the user's home directory will be removed along with the home directory itself and the user's mail spool. Files located in other file systems will have to be searched for and deleted manually. FILES
/etc/passwd - user account information /etc/shadow - secure user account information /etc/group - group information CAVEATS
userdel will not allow you to remove an account if the user is currently logged in. You must kill any running processes which belong to an account that you are deleting. You may not remove any NIS attributes on an NIS client. This must be performed on the NIS server. SEE ALSO
