NIS and ssh problem

[Rezende, Paulo Renato Silva De]

Hi,

I use RHES 3 and I'm having problems with ssh login using a NIS user
account.
If I use a local user account ssh allows login but if I use a NIS
account ssh refuses the connection.
In my /var/log/message I've the following messages:
Jun  9 13:52:13 HOSTNAME sshd(pam_unix)[24850]: check pass; user unknown
Jun  9 13:52:15 HOSTNAME sshd(pam_unix)[24850]: 2 more authentication
failures; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=NODEVssh ruser= rhost=HOSTNAME2 

Any suggestion?
