Multiple log entries for successful pubkey authentication

[Corinna Vinschen]

Hi,

I'm wondering if that's planned or just occuring accidentally.

With OpenSSH 4.0 and the upcoming 4.1, I'm getting two entries in syslog
when a pubkey authentication logon was successful:

  Apr  7 13:19:10 cathi sshd : PID 66116 : Accepted publickey for corinna from 192.168.129.6 port 40207 ssh2
  Apr  7 13:19:10 cathi sshd : PID 67060 : Accepted publickey for corinna from 192.168.129.6 port 40207 ssh2

I found that this only happens when privilege separation is used.  If I
switch privilege separation off, I'm getting only one entry in the syslog.


Bug?  Feature?
