SSHD creates defunct process

[Chidanand Gangur]

you are right Darren I have built the SSHD from source code. My only
concern is  as mentioned  before every thing goes well when i run SSHD
in debug mode [./sshd -ddd] . I face problem when i run it as service.
[./sshd].

Regarding my pam module  I not doing great in it i have my
implementation  for pam_sm_authenticate  rest  of the pam_sm_*
functions are empty, that is they just return PAM_SUCCESS.

And from the logs in SSHD , pam module and rest of the programs i can
make out user was authenticated and a success was sent to SSHD.

Now I am plannig to put function entry log and function exit log in
all sshd code so that i can see what actually went wrong. Is there any
other method to achive it.

Thanks,
Chidanand
