problems with a new account, sshd, mkpasswd, and login

I attempted to create a new account on my machine.  I added the user in XP.
Then I did mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd.  I started and stopped sshd using net.
Also, I may have inadvertantly used passwd on both the old and new account
to change the passwd.  I have since mkpasswd -l'ed and passwd'ed each
account to the password I want.  But when I ssh in, I can login to neither
account.  Any ideas?

Also, when I just use login to log into the new account, I get permission
denied on /bin/bash.  Any ideas there?

Thanks,
Dan
