Subject: Privilege separation

Hello,
  I have just installed openssh-3.4p1 on a COMPAQ/DEC/HP Alpha running
True64 UNIX v4.0F. The privilege separation option does not seem to
work properly. The syslog error message suggests that the problem is 
that the sshd child crashes when it attempts to create an audgen record 
after the password has been accepted and authenticated.  The program
appears to work normally if I disable UsePrivilegeSeparation in the
configuration file. I have looked through the various read-me and
configuration files, but I don't see any way to fix this.
