As I'm trying to parse this log snippet, I take the line mentioning
"pam_unix" to mean that "glerp" is not found in the normal *nix
authentication files method (ie, "glerp" is not found in "/etc/passwd").

But the next line indicates that SSS does find "glerp" in its
authentication method (ie, authentication via the domain).

So "glerp" was not authenticated as a local user, but he was authenticated
as a domain user.

Then the next line says that although "glerp" has been authenticated as a
domain user, "glerp" does not have authorization to ssh in, and then the
next line says it's because the password is failing.

But that doesn't make sense to me.
