openssh unix dev - Apr 2004 - No motd, lastlog, stored pam messages displayed

Hi

while testing a new pam module i found this problem:
System: Linux 2.4.18/OpenSSH 3.8p1 client/server

The output from do_login() in session.c (motd, lastlog, stored pam
messages) isn't displayed when Privilege Separation is enabled.

I added a fflush(stdout) as the last line of do_login(), now it works.

Isn't stdout supposed to be line buffered if it points to a tty? 
Anyway, the flush shouldn't hurt, so I've added it to the main code.
Thanks!
