It has everything to do with it.  You must update your 
/etc/pam.conf file so it has entries for sshd.  If you don't, 
you will get exactly the error messages you report.

Running mergemaster will semi-automate this (and other 
config file updates) for you.  If you insist on doing it 
manually, try

sshd     auth     sufficient     pam_skey.so
sshd     auth     required       pam_unix.so     try_first_pass
sshd     session  required       pam_permit.so

which you should find in /usr/src/etc/pam.conf
