Ok, I finally pinpointed the problem, but I don't like my solution.
Basically, it appears that sshd is not recognizing any changes to /etc/passwd
since it started. To solve this I had to connect to the host and stop all
instances of sshd then restart clean, not pretty and not viable if I want to
script changes to the passwd files across a farm. Is there another way to
get sshd to review the files, will it accept a kill -HUP and if so, how can
I send the hup, since I can't get the pid from within an ssh session (or is
there a way I haven't found yet?)
