I have worked hard to reduce diffs against the vendor branch. One
notable change in that respect is that we no longer prefer DSA over

hosts whose keys haven't changed.

- sshd fails to set TERM correctly.
- privilege separation may break PAM and is currently turned off.

Important new FreeBSD-version stuff: PAM support has been worked
in, partially from the "Unix" OpenSSH version, and a lot due to the

This requires at least the following in pam.conf:
sshd auth sufficient pam_skey.so
sshd auth required pam_unix.so try_first_pass
sshd session required pam_permit.so
