19 | Privilege Separation | ||
20 | -------------------- | ||
21 | |||
22 | As of 3.3, openssh has employed privilege separation to reduce the | ||
23 | quantity of code that runs as root, thereby reducing the impact of | ||
24 | some security holes in sshd. | ||
25 | |||
26 | Unfortunately, privilege separation interacts badly with PAM. Any PAM | ||
27 | session modules that need to run as root (pam_mkhomedir, for example) | ||
28 | will fail, and PAM keyboard-interactive authentication won't work. | ||
29 | |||
30 | Privilege separation is turned on by default, so if you decide you | ||
31 | want it turned off, you need to add "UsePrivilegeSeparation no" to | ||
32 | /etc/ssh/sshd_config | ||
33 | |||
34 | NB! If you are running a 2.0 series Linux kernel, then privilege | ||
35 | separation will not work at all, and your sshd will fail to start | ||
36 | unless you explicity turn privilege separation off. | ||
