Thanks. And the very first answer already explained why it works for
us: Apparently OpenSSH sshd gets its information through getpwnam_r as
well, so it ends up with the very same information as I pass to PAM, so
both are in agreement then.

Good for my usage scenario. Not so good for others though.
