openssh before 3.7.1 (even with privilege seperation) used to work fine.
The problem that I don't get a token appeared with openssh 3.7.1.

John T. Boyland reported the same problem on Solaris with privsep
disabled some time ago, but he has no solution yet, either.

May I asked what you changed in your pam module? Are these special
changes for your environment, or could it be useful for me as well?
