That means that the user you're trying to connect as doesn't exist on
the server.  The actual error message should be something like:

        foobar: no such system user

where "foobar" is the user that doesn't exist.  If you're using a CVS
passwd file, make sure that any lines that have three fields (i.e., two
":" characters) have a valid username in the third field.
