Mike,

That message is generated when you try to shell in as a user that does
not exist on the remote system; or at least not valid for openssh. I've
seen this happen when the user on the remote system doesn't have a valid
shell specified in /etc/passwd. Also check to see if the pam module got
installed.
  [ken@byte-8 ken]$ ls /etc/pam.d/sshd
  /etc/pam.d/sshd
  [ken@byte-8 ken]$

Also, make sure you specify the username with the '-l' switch.
  [ken@byte-8 ken]$ ssh -l billyjoejimbob 192.168.0.150

HTH
