What were you trying to do?
	Nothing.

What's wrong:
	The console is scrolling when unauthorized users are apparently trying to ssh in: 

19:33 Apr  2 19:33:07 cutter-john sshd[25715]: error: Could not get shadow information for rpm
19:42 Apr  2 19:42:47 cutter-john sshd[26266]: error: Could not get shadow information for rpcuser
19:42 Apr  2 19:42:48 cutter-john sshd[26267]: error: Could not get shadow information for rpcuser
19:42 Apr  2 19:42:49 cutter-john sshd[26268]: error: Could not get shadow information for rpm
19:42 Apr  2 19:42:51 cutter-john sshd[26269]: error: Could not get shadow information for rpm
19:50 Apr  2 19:50:38 cutter-john sshd[26747]: error: Could not get shadow information for cat


What should have happened:
	Nothing. I'm told that this happened often enough that the console is supposed to not display these messages.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
