There is no /etc/shells. Did I miss that in the installation
somewhere?
It's in BLFS. I don't think it's absolutely needed by login. But
here's the page:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/postlfs/etcshells.html
No I did not install PAM.
Cracklib? Did you do pwconv and grpconv as specified on the shadow
page?
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.
Hmm. Here's a test. Can you su to your test user rather than trying to
login? As root, try "su test5". That will help determine if the
problem is in login or not.

After boot, I get a login request and put in root and password.
This logs me in and bash prompt comes up.
I added user test13 and changed passwordl
The auth.log says says as noted before.
I then ran su test13 and got /bin/bash permission denied.
Auth.log says Successful su for test13 by root
Command users returns root only.
