4.7b update: ssh-connection immediately closed

[coldfront]

Hi,
I updated my ALIX.1D to 4.7b (Build 4993).
Now I can't login as user meteohub through terminal with ssh. There was NO problem with 4.7a and older.
The connection will be closed immediately after typing in the correct password.

See here what I'm getting from the terminal:

ssh meteohub@192.168.0.25
meteohub@192.168.0.25's password:
Linux meteohub 2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-486 #1 Mon Oct 13 06:47:02 UTC 2008 i586

Any ideas?
Thx,

user meteohub was never intended to be ssh login-able and this user has been closed for login with updates since 4.7a. Please Login as user root, when you want to use ssh.

Well, I can't login as root with ssh because I deactivated root-login through ssh due to security reasons in the sshd_config.
I connect to the ALIX as the meteohub user and if I need root privileges I change to the super user. I changed the default password of the meteohub user with a more secure password. By the way, I don't use authentication with password. I'm using public key authentication to run commands on the remote system.
Does this means that the meteohub user has now /bin/false as login shell?
Thanks. Now I have a problem, because my ALIX is 2000km away from my location.

How can I rollback to an older version with activated meteohub user?

[admin]

won't help. next update will have login access for user meteohub again.

ok, thank you.
