I don't think this is a good idea. 

sshd is already started with root permissions (either standalone or from
inetd), so it's not necessary to make it suid root.

I have several FreeBSD boxen running sshd (both version 1 and 2); none
of the daemons is suid root, and they don't show the problem which is
subject of this thread.
