Hi Niels,

i have a little problem with openssh 3.4 and Nvidia kernel driver:

On all my machines openssh 3.4 deamon run ok, 
except where NVIDIA kernel module (2960) had been install,sshd crash
saying : 

users Privilege Separation does not exist ... 

NVIDIA and "Privilege Separation" doesn't seems 
to be compatible ??? 

Graham Short <grahshrt at netscape.net> have noticed the problem too :

I had "users Privilege Separation does not exist ..." too & I have an
Nvidia card. 

Fixed it by erasing sshd (rpm --erase ...) and then re-installing it. 

Don't know what the cause was & didn't know it was related to Nvidia,
but is working now on the latest RPM. 

Graham

The packages i used are :

NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2960.i386.rpm
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2960.mdk82up.i586.rpm
openssh-3.4p1-1.1mdk.i586.rpm

by today, i can't use drivers NVIDIA and openssh-3.4 together with
Privilege Separation on my Mandrake 8.2 machines.

if you have an idea ?
Mandrake or Nvidia ?

Thanks
