| You say that *you* can remotely log into the machine with your account. Are you SSH'ing *from* the same machine *to* the same machine? That wouldn't really prove much other than that SSH is at least enabled.
Does the person that you made this new account for receive any error/warning messages when he/she tries to SSH into the machine, or does it just timeout eventually? Where is he/she physically with respect to the machine? I assume not in the same room? He/she could also use ssh -v or ssh -vv for verbosity and even MORE verbosity (respectively).
Finally, is the address of the machine–the one everyone's yearning to log into–routable? If it is in the range of addresses below, then it's probably not able to be logged into *unless* they're two machines within the same network:
10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255
