Maybe a dumb question, but the user that you are trying to login as, are they allowed command line access??
When I was installing SSH and shutting off Telnet, this was a major headache for me. Check /etc/passwd to make sure the login shell listed for the user(s) you're trying to log in as is a valid one (i.e. /bin/bash vs. /bin/badsh, /bin/false or /bin/usersh).
I can't say this with much confidence, but based on my experience, users with /bin/usersh can log in if telnet is active, but not through ssh.
