Simple idea: RH9's OpenSSH is compiled without PAM support, while RH9's
'su' and 'login' are compiled with PAM support.
In fact, do check your /etc/ssh/sshd_config. According to
"man sshd_config":
UsePAM
Enables PAM authentication (via challenge-response) and
session set up. If you enable this, you should probably
disable PasswordAuthentication. If you enable then you
will not be able to run sshd as a non-root user.
