This suggestion of mine won't solve your login problem but I noticed your useradd command. You should when creating a user set the home directory to /export/home/username - example
useradd -g work -d /export/home/gbruno -s /usr/bin/ksh gbruno

This way gbruno doesn't own /export/home when you create more users under there or that when you create more users, they don't 'steal' /export/home' from gbruno.
