Access denied for a particular user by PAM account configuration

I am trying to setup a passwordless login from machineA to machineB for my user david which already exits. This is what I did to generate the authentication keys:

david@machineA:~$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
........

david@machineB:~$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
........

After that I copied id_rsa.pub (/home/david/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) key of machineA into machineB authorized_keys file (/home/david/.ssh/authorized_keys) key.

And then I went back to machineA login screen and ran below command and it worked fine without any issues. So I was able to login into machineB as david user without asking for any password.

david@machineA:~$ ssh david@machineB

Question:

Now I created a new user on machineA and machineB both by running this command only useradd golden. And now I want to ssh passwordless from this golden user into machineB from machineA. I did same exact step as above but it doesn’t work.

david@machineA:~$ sudo su - golden
golden@machineA:~$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
........

david@machineB:~$ sudo su - golden
golden@machineB:~$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
........

And then I copied id_rsa.pub key /home/golden/.ssh/id_rsa.pub for golden user from machineA to machineB authorized_keys file /home/golden/.ssh/authorized_keys. And when I try to ssh, it gives me:

golden@machineA:~$ ssh golden@machineB
Connection closed by 23.14.23.10

What is wrong? It doesn’t work only for golden user which I created manually through this command useradd. I am running Ubuntu 14.04. Is there any settings that I need to enable for this manual user which I created?

In the machineB auth.log file, below is what I am seeing when I run this command from machineA ssh -vvv golden@machineB to login

Jan  3 17:56:59 machineB sshd[25664]: error: Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key
Jan  3 17:56:59 machineB sshd[25664]: pam_access(sshd:account): access denied for user `golden' from `machineA'

Jan  3 17:56:59 machineB sshd[25664]: fatal: Access denied for user golden by PAM account configuration [preauth]

Is there anything I am missing? Below is how my directory structure looks like:

golden@machineA:~$ pwd
/home/golden
golden@machineA:~$ ls -lrtha

Update:

In machineA:

cat /etc/passwd | grep golden
golden:x:1001:1001::/home/golden:/bin/bash

In machineB:

cat /etc/passwd | grep golden
golden:x:1001:1001::/home/golden:/bin/bash
