I am new to Raspberry Pi, and am learning to use one as part of a university course, which I am doing with a partner. Both of us are somewhat familiar with linux.
My partner and I thought it would be nice to each have our own user. This is proving to be seemingly impossible. "user1" was created as part of the drive imaging process. It works normally. "user2" is... well, user2 has now be remade several times.
Any time any user besides user1 attempts to log in, it is refused. In the case of normal desktop logins, it is an "incorrect password" error. In the case of RDP, it is something more complicated which I can't recall. ssh works normally for all users.
We have tried everything: remaking the account with and ;adding a third account; deleting and remaking the home directory and various credential-related files, using different combinations of client computers and keyboards.
Nothing makes a difference. Any help would be appreciated; we're about ready to resign ourselves to just sharing and account, or maybe reimaging the system.
