When I ssh to my IBM server and login with an account that needs a password change it closes my ssh session.

I'll connect and it will ask for my password then it will promt me for a new password. When it prompts for a new password it complains about the user not existing and an error changing the password. Below is what I see.

Production # ssh -l net54 localhost
net54@localhost's password:
Last unsuccessful login: Thu Mar 27 15:49:41 CDT 2008 on ssh from 172.23.15.123
Last login: Thu Mar 27 17:30:04 CDT 2008 on ssh from loopback
3004-610 You are required to change your password.
Please choose a new one.

You must change your password now.
Changing password for "net54"
3004-616 User "net54" does not exist.
3004-709 Error changing password for "net54".
Connection to localhost closed.
What am I missing? Is there a variable in ssh_config that needs to be set. Is it a variable in /etc/security/user?

Check for the option AllowUsers in /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the server. The net54 user ID needs to be listed as a permitted SSH user if this option is enabled.
