The UsePrivilegeSeparation configuration is set to sandbox in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and sshd is restarted.

Deployers can opt out of this change by setting the following Ansible variable:

security_sshd_enable_privilege_separation: no

Note

Although the STIG requires this setting to be yes, the sandbox setting actually provides more security because it enables privilege separation during the early authentication process.
