No, I've never seen this, very strange. I have 750 for bash's permissions
(-rwxr-x---), your other user may have problems if both login at the same t=
ime.

The user needs a password... and he might not have a home directory (on fir=
st
login it is created by the shell).

The new user doesn't need to run ssh-user-config, that only creates the def=
ault
~/.ssh directory with some defaults, and the keys which are only necessary =
for
public key authentication. You can login as the second user as it is now, =
just
make sure the home is the correct one, then he can run the script.
