hmm, I lost part of a sentence there.. I meant to say that commenting out:

        if (usrinfo(SETUINFO, cp, i) == -1)
                fatal("Couldn't set usrinfo: %s",
strerror(errno));

from openbsd-compat/port-aix.c makes sshd function with UsePrivilegeSeparation
enabled.

Can I get a manpage for usrinfo() ?  I know I've seen it before but I have
to
see why we are doing it and what privsep stuff that may have to be wrapped 
around it.

Created an attachment (id=117)
Manpage for AIX usrinfo().  Needed to setup proper user context for some legacy
AIX applications.

The fix for this was just committed to CVS by Ben:

$ cvs log session.c

 - (bal) moved aix_usrinfo() and noted not setting real TTY.  Patch by
   dtucker at zip.com.au
[snip]

Be aware that this will now set TTY to a null value in the system environment 
(use "setsenv" to view). It's possible that this will cause
problems with
"legacy" apps but there are no known cases at the moment.
