is sshpam_thread() dead code?

Hi,

I wondered what part sshpam_thread() (in auth-pam.c) is playing wrt. PAM
authentication.
It seems to be never called from any other ssh code (judging from CVS
as of 27.6.2004).

I noticed this because the current openssh package in Debian unstable
(3.8.1p1) is not calling the pam_authenticate() function at all,
regardless of my configuration settings.
In CVS this seems to be fixed with the recently added function
sshpam_auth_passwd() in auth-pam.c.
But what about sshpam_thread(), is this function unneeded now or
should it be called from somewhere?

Cheers, Bastian
