No local user authentication with openssh2.9

Dear List, I am having a great deal of problem setting up openssh-2.9 in my debian setup. Can anyone tell me why any of my local users don't get authenticated when using openssh. It works fine when I use ssh 3.01 btw. If anyone can help me make the switch it would be greatly appreciated.
