Webmin user and SSH access

I have created a webmin user using option from Webmin -> Webmin Users -> Create a new Webmin user. After creating that user I was able to log in to the Virtualmin but when I try to reach the system using SSH I'm not able.

Any clue what I have missed?

Thanks.

Howdy,

A Webmin user is only usable from within Webmin.

If you want a user you can access from SSH, you would actually want to create a system user that has an entry in /etc/passwd and a shell.
