Uhh, I will do my best, but I wouldn't hold your breath.  AFAIK, I'm the
"OSF group", and I just do it as time allows because we've (the ISP I
work for) got Tru64 systems with lots of shell users.  I haven't had the
time to look at privsep since it was introduced (I've given it brief
looks a couple of times but haven't quite got my head around it yet).

I don't think anyone at DEC^WCompaq^WHP has any interest in OpenSSH, as
they have on their site as a free download the SSH.com version (which I
understand will be in Tru64 5.1B later this year).  I plan to continue
to run OpenSSH instead (because I think it is the superior solution), so
I'll try to keep it working, but I don't know how much other interest
there is.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
