           Summary: Setting "UsePAM no" in sshd_config gives error if not
                    config'ed w/ --with-pam
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: Sparc
        OS/Version: SunOS
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P4
         Component: sshd
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org

For OpenSSH_3.7p1, if one does NOT use the "--with-pam" configuration
option, setting the default "#UsePAM yes" flag in sshd_config to
"UsePam no" will cause the following error:
 init.d [111]# ./openssh start
/etc/ssh/sshd_config line 75: Unsupported option UsePAM

However, if one does use the "--with-pam" configuration option,
setting the flag "UsePam no" is acceptable.

Seems a bit confusing to me. Perhaps "#UsePAM no" should be the default?

Thanks.
