A better value for this setting is sandbox. Here's the description from the manpage:
If UsePrivilegeSeparation is set to “sandbox” then the pre-authentication unprivileged process is subject to additional restrictions.

@fmarier - Thanks François, I didn't know about the sandbox setting!

@GigabyteProductions - Just to reduce the amount of time the system is listening to an unauthenticated user; I was coming from a viewpoint of "minimum possible access", and didn't see the point in giving people a whole 120 seconds of airtime. There may be no security value in it, but there might be a new 0-day at some point or something.
Changed PrivilegeSeparation to sandbox (thanks, @fmarier!) Added VERBOSE log level Added 4096-bit RSA key (usually 1024 or 2048 bit created on initial system install)
