As you've seen, sshd requires that the system's getpwnam() function
knows the user, without which it does not know, for example, what
userid to run processes as should you manage to successfully
authenticate.

You will need to either arrange for your system's NSS to know about
your users somehow or modify sshd.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
