Hello System Admins,

Thanks very much to two of you who gave me the answer.

I had to add the line:
UsePrivilegeSeparation no
to the file "sshd_config". This solved my problem.

One admin put it this way:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This may be because you have the sshd_config option
"UsePrivilegeSeparation" set to "yes" (that's the default). You need to
explicitly set it to "no" for Tru64 as the SIA routines need to be run
as root (unfortunately).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

But before building openssh, you ARE REQUIRED to create the "privilege
separation" user as demonstrated in README.privsep. And you CANNOT
use either of these flags when running the ./configure command:
      --with-privsep-user=no
      --without-privsep-user
At least, this has been my experience.
