Hmm, I thought that would've done it. Do you compile openssh as the
book does, particularly:
useradd -c 'sshd PrivSep' -d /var/lib/sshd -g sshd \
-s /bin/false -u 50 sshd
and
--with-privsep-path=/var/lib/sshd
That's where the /var/lib/sshd/lib comes from. I guess keep using
UseDNS no. It worked for me for quite a while. Upgrading to the
latest 4.2p1 for openssh might help because it had a bug that showed
the same symptoms, but I don't know if the fix is in 4.2.
The real solution is to rebuild glibc with a patch, but you've gotta
have experience or cajones to do it. If you're interested, I could
tell you how to do it. It's not insane, but care has to be taken (and
a package manager helps).
