Try killing sshd and restarting it in debug mode. Like this.
# killall sshd
# sshd -d &
# tail -f /var/log/messages
Then try to log in as a regular user and see what messages are logged.
Sshd is a paranoid program, and the littlest thing will keep it from
working. (That's a good thing, though.)
Don't bother with telnet unless you're on a closed network and you're
certain everybody who uses the network is a security expert and wears a
white hat. (-:
