Probably wrongly configured shell

Perhasp try: sudo chsh -s /bin/bash <user>

To change the shell to bash

Definitely a borked shell.

Try to run sh or bash manually and check $SHELL.

you probably did 'adduser <bleh>' (which is low level user); you should have invoked 'useradd <bleh>' since this has the goodies like home directory and shell and so on, which takes the same skelly for more sophisticated users.
