I am trying to upgrade from OpenSSH 3.1p1 to Openssh 3.4p1 due to the Cert
advisory and would like to know more about
the Privilege Separation. Can't find  very good information on the web.
For example, I added a userid of sshd, but did not give it a home directory
or special group permissions.
Anything I need to know about creating this userid ?. 

Any problems I should know for Solaris or AIX  before I start upgrading my
production servers?. Should I wait for 3.4.1 release ?
