Hi Andrey,

As much as I don't like giving up, after lots of testing I found the 
only way I can get a domain user to access my server is by creating the 
/etc/passwd file and adding the users there. I don't understand the 
workings behind this but at least it works. Thank you very much for your 
help and patience. Due to tons of other things I have to work on now I 
wont be persuing this further but hey, Microsoft are yet again working 
on ssh. Maybe they suceed this time.
All the best.
