Look at /etc/passwd 

Do:
grep joe /etc/passwd
and post the line(s)

Do:
find /var/log -type f -exec grep -H joe "{}" \;
And post the output. 


Look at line:
Feb 10 18:18:16 localhost su: pam_unix(su:auth): authentication failure; 
logname= uid=500 euid=0 tty=pts/1 ruser=joe rhost=  user=root 

Now, from a console in 73, logged in as joe do:
ssh -v localhost
And post the reply. 

Then from the other machine do:
ssh -v <73>
And post that too.
