Probs with /etc/shadow updates on RH 7



Hello to all:

At work we have a RH 6 or 7, kernel 2.2.16 box onto which I have manually
added myself to the /etc/passwd file and attempted to add myself to the
/etc/shadow file.  But, upon trying a remote login via ssh, the system
denies my account access.  Root has no problems at the console.

What do I need to do (fix/undo/etc) to properly add myself?  I also
manually created my home directory on the system under /home/scott.

Thanks.

Scott
