Description of problem:

OpenSSH server closes connections on linux_audit_write_entry_failure, 
thus preventing interactive login to a remote machine. Execution of commands on
remote machine is not affacted, i.e. still works. I suspect this is caused by my
custom configured kernel which does not support selinux and auditing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
custom kernel 2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 (without selinux and auditing)
custom kernel-smp 2.6.15-1.1991_FC5 (without selinux and auditing)
openssh-4.3p2-3

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install kernel without selinux
2. install openssh-4.3p2-3
3. try to log on the machine using ssh
  
Actual results:
[pallas@irian ~]$ ssh localhost
Connection to localhost closed by remote host.
Connection to localhost closed.

Expected results:
Login shell on the remote machine.
