Using privilege separation for a SSH login as root is a bit senseless, I think. What's the point of spawing a non-privileged sshd process that will run as root? I'm using openssh-3.4p1 on FreeBSD-4.6 (with openssl-0.9.6d installed) for normal user logins and privilege separation works fine. I'd suggest trying as a non-root user and then using su to gain root privileges.
