Starting at about 3.7p1, OpenSSH's sshd will use setauthdb if it's found
at build time.

It is likely that your OpenSSH package was compiled on a system that has
the setauthdb function call (eg 4.3.3 [1]) but you're trying to run in on
an earlier version that doesn't have it (eg 4.2.1).

You can either build OpenSSH yourself from source, or obtain a package
that was built on an earlier version like, well, mine [2].

[1] I think 4.3.3 has it, and I'm sure 4.2.1 doesn't. I'm not sure exactly
which version introduced it.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
