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.
