What command you are running to connect to server? have you tried specifying username while connecting?

ssh use1@server

please post sshd_config and

ps-ef | grep sshd

.

Could not get shadow information for NOUSER

usually means your logging in with a nonexisting account. What is the ssh command you are using to login with?

but how is the telnet possible then?

Most likely because one is configured to use PAM(telnet) and the other is not(ssh), or the pam configurations for the particular service is wrong.

Do this:

ssh -l username server
