ISTR this feature is intended for use on very old/weird systems where
sshd doesn't know how to authenticate the user or setup a login session.
We don't use it, because it's not needed, since we are both supported,
and use PAM anyway.

Of course, I could be completely wrong, and at 3:30am, I can't find any
docs quickly to hand...
