1.5 as shipped doesn't do that, as far as I know.  You need one of the 
snapshots in the -current branch.  (I run 1.5R).  Once you've got that, 
set up /etc/passwd.conf as the man page indicates, and it will work.

There are a few little gotchas.  Just a few seconds ago (literally!), I
sent in a PR noting that /etc/security complains about accounts with long
passwords.  I think (but have not yet fully verified) that sshd won't 
accept long passwords, either.  Since I don't use password 
authentication, this isn't a big deal for me, but it may affect some 
people.
