Re: can't start sshd


Windows event log shows only information events (id 0) from sshd, but /var /log/sshd.log showed:

/var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable

Presumably that is my problem, since ls shows:

drwxr-xr-x+ 2 cdr None 0 Jan 6 13:48 empty/

The simple hack of disabling privilege separation has given me a working system, which I am not inclined to monkey with, but if I have problems in the future I'll pursue this track. Thanks for the advice.
