           Summary: sshd requires entry from getpwnam for PAM accounts
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 4.3p2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: PAM support
        AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: dtucker at zip.com.au


sshd requires that a user exists in /etc/passwd or similar (eg nss).

With some changes, it should be possible to track PAM_USER as it
changes and adjust the authctxt accordingly.

I'm not sure that this is a good idea, but I wanted to investigate
what's involved.
