Thanks for the tip.
I would have expected it to work correctly if run from a /etc/rc2.d script.
Oh well.

If I add "sshd:/usr/local/sbin/sshd:sysadmin" to the end of
/tcb/files/no_luid/cmdtable and then run "sd sshd" it works fine.

(does further testing) Opps. Sysadmin (me) malfunction.
It does work if you run /usr/local/sbin/sshd from a /etc/rc2.d script
I was doing a su root -c "/usr/local/sbin/sshd". That explains luid=0

All works as expected now.
