NIS broken in debian 2.2?

[Brent Kearney <brent@kearneys.ca>]

Greetings,

I'm running the 'woody' distro on a PC with Linux 2.4.12-ac6. I 
installed the 'nis' debian package, and followed the nis.debian.howto 
that comes with that package.  The setup went smoothly, and ypbind was 
able to contact the NIS server.  ypcat works.  However, NIS users are 
unable to authenticate to the system using SSH.  

Here's what it looks like from the outside:

	{myhost}(~)$ ssh hostname
	brent@hostname's password:
	Permission denied, please try again.
	brent@hostname's password:
	Permission denied, please try again.
	brent@hostname's password:
	Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).

Here's what it looks like from the inside:

	hostname:/var/log# tail -f auth.log
	Dec 13 17:25:52 hostname sshd[1204]: input_userauth_request: illegal 
	user brent
	Dec 13 17:25:52 hostname sshd[1204]: Failed none for illegal user 
	brent
	from 123.45.67.89 port 53110 ssh2
	Dec 13 17:25:53 hostname sshd[1204]: Failed password for illegal user 
	brent from 
	123.45.67.89 port 53110 ssh2
	Dec 13 17:26:20 hostname last message repeated 2 times
	Dec 13 17:26:20 hostname sshd[1204]: Failed keyboard-interactive for
	illegal user brent from 123.45.67.89 port 53110 ssh2
	Dec 13 17:26:20 hostname last message repeated 2 times
	Dec 13 17:26:20 hostname sshd[1204]: Connection closed by 123.45.67.89

	hostname:/var/log# ypcat passwd | grep brent
	brent:CrYpT3DP4ss:1059:200::/home/foo/brent:/usr/local/bin/tcsh


My first thought was that it was a PAM issue.  Some websearches turned
up this: 

	http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55011

It appears that Redhat had a similar problem, but has a solution.  I
tried copying the pam_pwdb modules from a redhat box (with the libs),
and subsituting it for pam_unix in /etc/pam.d/ssh and login, but no
luck.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Brent
