Yes, without problem.

Is /bin/bash listed in /etc/shells? Are you using PAM? Is there any
more revealing output in /var/log/auth.log?

There is no /etc/shells. Did I miss that in the installation somewhere?
No I did not install PAM.
When I add a user, the auth.log reads:
new user: test5, UID1002, GID1002, home=/home/test5, shell=/bin/ bash
 I used passwd to add a password
The log reads password for test5 changed by root.
Attempted login says:
No mail
Cannot execute /bin/bash. Permission denied
I can use deluser, which removes all but the home directory.
The permissions on /bin and /bin/bash are 755 with root being the owner.
