Can you tell how you used the useradd command?
E.g.
useradd -m -s /bin/bash arthur.dent
And then set the password via
passwd arthur.dent

thanks for rply i add in this mode

sudo useradd  MYUSERNAME
sudo passwd MYUSERNAME
and  after, when it ask me a password ,.... i gave  the password

Let’s check
grep MYUSERNAME /etc/passwd

5

stefano:x:1001:1002::/home/stefano:/bin/sh

6

can you login as user root and try to switch manually?

su - stefano
7

Maybe switching to bash helps:
usermod --shell /bin/bash stefano

i think not have permetion ?

14

stefano:x:1001:1002::/home/stefano:/bin/bash

15

Possibly the ownership of /home/stefano is the problem?
You could try
chown -R stefano:users /home/stefano

16

At least, the changeober to bash worked.

17

chown -R stefano:users /home/stefano
chown: cannot access ‘/home/stefano’: No such file or directory

18

in home i have only dietpi why ? o_O

19

So, the reason is, that adduser did not generate your home dir.
This could have been done with the -m option of adduser.
So now
mkdir /home/stefano
Then chown like above and try to login.

20

Originally, you needed
useradd -m -s /bin/bash stefano

21

ooo why if i want add user ofcourse i want also home folder no ??
thannks now go with ssh in shel terminal
but why if i want connect a fodler in mate not go ? i click file —> connect to server —> choice ssh port 22and insert user and password but tell me connection faild
