   That looks like it completed corrected so,  did you try logging in using user   
   bbs via a primary tty terminal user i.e., that is NOT using a terninal program   
   via su -  bbs etc but via cntl/alt/F2 - F5 etc.   
      
   If you try and log in using a terminal program it will reject the log in   
   attempt - well it does on mine (Mageia v7.1 X64  as shown : -

   It does work the other way (via cntl/Alt/F2) and like wise if you telnet or    
   ssh   
   to your localhost.   
      
      
   Your system may be set up differently as mine is set up as a server with a   
   higher security level with mbse set up accordingly.
