SSHD creates defunct process

[Chidanand Gangur]

Hi Daimen Miller,

I accept your disguize, but I really thought this mailing list which
could help me to solve the problem.

The changes in SSHD code is only in one file  i.e session.c and that
too it is a very simple change. The changes is just setting an
envoirnment variable which is just an integer.
I am using child_set_env  function to achieve it. 

The main problem is the behaviour changes on machine to machine. On
some machine i get error

PAM faulty module pam_test.so
PAM unable to dlopen pam_test.so
PAM unable to dlopen pam_deny.so

On some machine every thing goes fine end to end  and surprisingly all
the machines are standard RH 9 machines.

Am I missing out some configuration. 
I havent changed standard sshd_config file.
I have tweaked  nsswitch.conf and /etc/pam.d/sshd file. 

Thanks,
Chidanand
