sshd fails to start with "UsePam no"

Using OpenSSH_3.6.1p2, I want to disable PAM to counter the latest
advisory. However, sshd fails to start:

bash-2.03# /usr/local/sbin/sshd -f /usr/local/etc/sshd_config -t
/usr/local/etc/sshd_config: line 26: Bad configuration option: UsePam
/usr/local/etc/sshd_config: terminating, 1 bad configuration options

This is on Solaris 8, with the September 16 patch, configure options:

./configure --with-ipv4-default --without-rsh --disable-suid-ssh

I'd appreciate any help on this. :)
