As expected if you aren't using keys.
Dan suggested that perhaps SSH would work using key
authentication, but I guess it's a no on that though, if I'm not
mistaken.
I wasn't guessing. It doesn't need to use directory services for
authentication.
I'll check it out for sure next time it happens.
No, please don't bother...

Dan,
Before making a complete fool out of yourself the next time, please
RTFMail that you are responding to. I'll paste part of what I wrote
again, so you can correct your post.
The reason I mention it is that for this server, we use keys only.
Or, come to think of it, please don't bother..
Next time the server screws up, I'll make sure to see whether keys
work or not.
Which will not prove or disprove that key based authentication
doesn't require Directory Services; it would just prove you have some
third problem.
For the record ssh key based authentication does not authenticate
through Directory Services. That's the point of the keys and all the
methods ssh has incorporated.
