Now I'm having problems with configuring the pty for this user.  Can you
give me any tips here?


Make sure you have /dev/pts mounted (if you have devpts configured in 
your kernel) or that you have the pty device nodes in /dev/ (if you 
don't have devpts in your kernel).  It's been a while since I had to do 
the latter, but "cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV pty" will probably do it.



I've got /dev/pts mounted:

# mount
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)

I've also got a pty device defined:

# ls -l dev
crw-rw-rw-      1 root  root    2,      0 Jun  5 12:24 ptyp0


But I'm still seeing an error in the sshd log:

error: openpty: No such file or directory

I think I'm awfully close, but there's something else not quite right.
