It's the domain controller. I added a user that isn't a member of the domain and I have allowed that user to login locally in the Domain Controller Security Policy. That user can now login through ssh, so then I made a new group and added all the existing domain users to it and added that group to be able to login as well but no dice. I think that there is a security setting somewhere that is foiling me, this is really a pain in the ass to track all these user groups and permissions and whatnot I don't know how you admins do this all day, I'll sit quietly and write code all day and be happy as a clam. :)
