Description Darren Tucker 2002-06-09 19:57:15 AEST 
I started testing PrivSep on AIX. It doesn't work for a non-root user.

Environment: AIX 4.3.3 maintenance level 0, gcc-3.1. Does the same thing on ML9. 
Not sure about 4.2.1 yet.

$ ./sshd -d -d -d -o 'UsePrivilegeSeparation yes' -o 'Port 3022'
[snip]
debug1: session_input_channel_req: session 0 req shell
setsid: Not owner
debug1: Received SIGCHLD.
[goes pear-shaped from here]

Full log in following attachment.

Since the next version will ship with PrivSep defaulting to on I set the 
severity to major.
