SUMMARY re: privilege separation

The error
"privilege separation user no does not exist"

comes when openssh is running on its default configuration,
which enables privilege separation, but the
separate userid and directory which this requires have not
been created. I disabled privilege separation on my sshd and
now it is working fine.
