"Illegal User" when logging into sshd

Here is the scenario:
Running sshd out of cygrunsrv as system. sshd operating fine, performing
both password and rsa authentication for any domain admin account that I add
to /etc/passwd. I need to allow rsa authentication for a single non-domain
admin account onto my member servers. The problem is that regardless of the
authentication method, sshd reports a failed attempt for "illegal user foo".
I have tried foo@host, domain\\foo@host, and even tried adding the user to the
local Adminstrators group to see if I had a perm issue. The domain account
was added to /etc/passwd in the following manner:
mkpasswd -d | grep foo >>/etc/passwd
and the home directory was created and chowned to that user, still no dice.
I have searched the archive and the only reference I can find is where someone
had the same problem with the Administrator account, but no answer to their
question.
any ideas?
