pam_afs creates a PAG and a token in a subprocess of ssh that is discarded

SunSSH doesn't use the same mechanism for intertwining the PAM and SSH event loops that OpenSSH uses. In particular, I believe that SunSSH preserves the behaviour that the authentication stack is executed by a process that is an ancestor of the child shell.

Thanks for the additional information. The code is all available (well, mostly) http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/cmd/ssh/ and there are some differences that the Sun SSH team took the time to point out, at least with the privsep. I hadn't realized that the branch of SUNWssh* from OpenSSH was as substantial as it appears to be.
