Thank you!  I didn't know that this is possible.  It also works
on Cygwin then since descriptor passing is the actual problem
preventing the usage of privsep on Cygwin. 

Would you mind to change that to

#if defined (DEC_OSF) || defined (HAVE_CYGWIN)

???

If I understand that correctly, privsep still works for preauth
then.  Is it correct that this doesn't create a second sshd
process?  At least I don't see one in the process list when
privsep is on and the above patch applied.
