Subject: sshd privilege separation problem

Hi,

I've been running sshd and it recently stopped working.  I'm not sure 
whether I did anything to it, but I've managed to track down the problem.

If I use privilege separation (ssh-host-config), as soon as I type the 
password in, the message "Connection to localhost closed." is 
displayed.  However, if I don't use privilege separation, everything 
works as it should.  I've tried syncing the groups and passwd files with 
no success.

This one is puzzling me; any ideas?
