Adding a ssh-only user account

I'm trying to add a user account to our OSXS 10.5.4 server. All this user is allowed to do is ssh in. What is the best way to add such an account? Shouldn't going through System Preferences -> Users be sufficient? When I add the user account this way and try to ssh into it, the password is not recognized and the system log says:

Jul 23 21:30:38 /usr/sbin/PasswordService[62]: client response doesn't match what we generated Jul 23 21:30:38: --- last message repeated 1 time --- Jul 23 21:30:38 emond[72]: Host at by will be blocked for at least 15.00 minutes Jul 23 21:30:38 emond[1048]: DoRunAction (child): setting the uid/gid to 0/0

What am I doing wrong?

Thx!
Russ
