Privilege separation is now enabled by default; see the
UsePrivilegeSeparation option in sshd_config(5).
-On systems which lack mmap or anonymous (MAP_ANON) memory mapping,
-compression must be disabled in order for privilege separation to
-function.
-
When privsep is enabled, during the pre-authentication phase sshd will
chroot(2) to "/var/empty" and change its privileges to the "sshd" user
and its primary group. sshd is a pseudo-account that should not be
--with-privsep-path=xxx Path for privilege separation chroot
--with-privsep-user=user Specify non-privileged user for privilege separation
-Privsep requires operating system support for file descriptor passing.
-Compression will be disabled on systems without a working mmap MAP_ANON.
-
PAM-enabled OpenSSH is known to function with privsep on AIX, FreeBSD,
HP-UX (including Trusted Mode), Linux, NetBSD and Solaris.
