Problem solved. Apparently, my useradd command server>sudo useradd -d /home/olwe2-serve -m olwe2-serve didn't create a viable account somehow (at least for logging in via ssh). adduser did, though. It's just that this problem mimicked my problem from yesterday when I had the same symptom because of a messed-up ssdh_config script. I do appreciate everyone's help, though.
