I presume you have set up the appropriate + entries in your /etc/passwd?
I think with newer libc's you need to have something like:

+::::

to allow everyone (or possibly just + on a line by itself).

Do you use netgroups to control access?  If not, then you don't need
to worry abut this.  If you do, then you should simply add the
appropriate netgroup entries with +@netgroup instead of the + line
as above.
