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.
