I've read the previous bug reports on this site regarding this issue.  I haven't been able to make any of the workarounds work.  I was wondering if this is fixed in the latest issue of ssh.

First off, how to I tell which version ssh/sshd I have?  /usr/bin/ssh -v

sshd requires getpwnam() and friends to return sane values for usernames that it receives. If you don't want to setup /etc/passwd then you may need to investigate nss_radius or something similar.
