Re: SSH Setup Issue

For you, perhaps.


Took a look at '/var/log/sshd.log'.

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

So, 'chown SYSTEM empty'

SYSTEM does not have the proper permissions on Vista for 'sshd' to run properly. If 'ssh-host-config' did it's job correctly, it set up a new user for this. Look for 'sshd_server'. If you have this, then that's the user you want to use above and in all places where you used 'SYSTEM'.
