I created a new user, l4d1, then logged into it with "su l4d1". What is with the new shell? It's just a question mark "?", no command completion or command history.
The l4d1 user doesn't have a password and can only be logged into with "su l4d1".

Maybe you typed -s without realising?

Maybe the defaults are broken, use -D to find out
Or try usermod to set a proper shell
