No.  I have done nothing with PAM, except build and configure OpenSSH
to utilize it.

I downloaded today's snapshot and built it to see if it improved
things.  It didn't change the behavior, but I no longer get the
shared-library errors.  I do, however, still get the following in
/var/adm/messages on each "drop":

Aug 31 16:20:53 ssh-host sshd[28145]: [ID 800047 auth.error] error:
PAM: pam_open_session(): Can not make/remove entry for session

I'm still going through the truss output - I'll let you know if I find
anything that looks relevant.


And as with the prior release of OpenSSH, if I disable
PrivilegeSeparation, everything works (which would seem to suggest
that PAM is configured correctly).


I just did a lot of searching on bugzilla, and what I am seeing
*might* be related to http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=926;
it isn't clear to me as I don't really know PAM.
