Another problem I ran into with only obscure search results:

alucard@fileserver:~$ ssh aix04
alucard@aix04's password:
Last unsuccessful login: Fri May 15 15:28:28 EDT 2009 on ssh from fileserver
Last login: Tue Jun 16 10:31:45 EDT 2009 on /dev/pts/0 from fileserver
Could not chdir to home directory /home/alucard: Permission denied
/bin/ksh: Permission denied
Connection to aix04 closed.

The solution in my case was:

chmod a+rx /

/ had permissions 0644 when they need to be 0755 to allow anyone but root to log in.
