A question about OpenSSH_3.4p1 on Solaris 8

[Ben Lindstrom]

This is the correct behavior.  This is what privilege seperation does

After you login it splits into to sections.. the 'user owned' part which
drops all root privs and which does 99% of the work, and a root privs part
that only does SELECTIVE things that require root to do them.
