Thanks for the recommendation. Unfortunately it did not work. I also
tried rebuilding configure with autoconf after adding the
AC_DEFINE(LOCKED_PASSWD_STRING, "*LK*") to the *-*-sco3.2v5* definitions
and then re-ran configure and re-compiled. I'm still getting the same
results (authenticating to a locked account using password
authentication, not public/private key).

I have noticed that SSH compiled for SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 is

a
Skunkware version supplied by SCO. All of these are authenticating
locked accounts. I even messed around in configure.ac and added
AC_DEFINE(LOCKED_PASSWD_STRING, "*LK*") to the *-*-sco3.2v5*

(locked accounts have a *LK* in the shadow file as a prefix to the
encrypted password hash.
Unless you also rebuild configure with "autoconf" or "autoreconf" and
reran configure then your changes would not have taken effect.
Does anyone have any recommendations or workarounds?
Try adding:
#define LOCKED_PASSWD_STRING "*LK*"
to defines.h and recompiling.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
