Description Margaret Doll 2002-06-28 01:32:46 AEST 
I had openssh running on Ultra 10 systems running Solaris 8.  I have
sshd:x:74:74::/var/empty/sshd:/bin/false  	in /etc/passwd
sshd:x:11864::::::
			in /etc/shadow
sshd::74:
				added in /etc/group

When I "make install" for openssh 3.4 on these systems, I get the following error:

id sshd || \
        echo "WARNING: Privilege separation user \"sshd\" does not exist"
id: invalid user name: "sshd" 


When I try to start 3.4, I get

 /etc/init.d/sshd start
Bad owner or mode for /var/empty

or starting directly from the file: 

./sshd
Privilege separation user sshd does not exist


WARNING:ls -sal /var/empty

Comment 1 Darren Tucker 2002-07-15 22:01:07 AEST 
/var/empty should be owned by root and mode 0755:

# ls -ld /var/empty
drwxr-xr-x   2 root sys  512 Jul 15 21:44 /var/empty
