Matthew,

Regular users don't get a shell at login by default. Take a look at /etc/passwd (/bin/false)

If you really want to give users shell access then logon as root and.....

chsh -s /bin/bash username

they will need to SU if they want to do anything rootish

to remove access:

chsh -s /bin/sshell username
