Greetings,

I upgraded to OpenSSH 3.4p1 as suggested by the site, and I am running
into troubles. Before this, I was running 3.1. I rely on the
compression of SSH, and have no use for the UsePrivilegeSeparation.

Either way, when I started the daemon, I got two errors:

>This platform does not support both privilege separation and >compression
>Compression disabled

and

>Privilege separation user sshd does not exist

So, I set "UsePrivilegeSeparation no". This allows sshd to run, but a
new problem.... I cant authenticate. I continue to get:

>Permission denied, please try again.

*growl* I dont know why this is. I also use rsh, which I CAN
successfully log in with, and ssh 3.1 gave me no problems. I am using
the exact same ssh_config file as before, only with the
"UsePrivilegeSeparation no" line added. Any ideas?

Brian
