SCO 5.0.5 question (username not known)

Hello,


	I am running  OpenSSH_2.2.0p1 on SCO 5.0.5. Everything is
running just fine but I am experiencing a little problem when I go to
change my password remotely. After logging in, if I go to change my
password with the command passwd, I get the following error. 

bash-2.01$ passwd
Setting password for user: (null)

Password request denied.
Reason: your identity is not known.



I can get around this by relogging in with the su command. 
su - myloginname 

then it knows who I am. 


I have tried to change UseLogin to yes in the config file but SCO doesn't
like that very much.

I was wondering if anyone has experienced this. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.  

Thanks,
Sam
