Content of passwrd for "tt" user:

Code:

tt:x:1000:1011:,,,:/home/tt:/bin/bash

Do you have console access? If so, what happens when you login at the console.

Yes, now I've only console access via SSH.
You can see what happened here:

You got some users that you can login with, you said.
So take your favourite editor and try to just yank & paste this line of that working user in /etc/passwd and edit the username and uid of the copied line to some fantasy value.
Set the password for this "new" user and try to connect.
You can just delete this line just when you made your test so nothing to worry about.

I changed it to another working line:
Working:

Code:

someuser:x:30313:0::/home/someuser:/bin/sh

Not working:

Code:

tt:x:1000:1011:,,,:/home/tt:/bin/bash

The result line was:

Code:

tt:x:30313:0::/home/tt:/bin/sh

After that I could login with tt but the system recognize me az "someuser" not "tt". Which changes were extra?

ssh running on the dest server... no issues here.. make sure the user "tt" is defined in the passwd and shadow file.. entries should be correct.

I wrote you should also take another UID than the one from the line you copied^^ Best would be one that isn't taken already.
It welcomes you as user "someuser" because the 1st entry it finds is the one with "someuser" having also the uid 30313.
