A shot in the dark:

The RPM uninstallation probably removed /etc/pam.d/sshd and was not
created/setup correctly when OpenSSH was reinstalled from the source.

It's redhat... I would check to ensure (with that release) that
they have a /etc/pam.d/sshd  file.  That tends to be the major cause of
users unable to login.

: hints?

Did they install the PAM configuration file from
OpenSSH-2.5.2p2/contrib/redhat/ into /etc/pam.d/?
