Description Martin Forssen 2003-01-27 20:29:58 AEDT

I recentry tried the cvs-version of portable openssh, but it refused to run
since the privsep directory had bad owner or mode. I had to check teh code to
see which owner and mode it should have. How about modifying the error to
provide this information. I will attach a patch which fixes this.

there's no need to check the source, sshd(8) should have
all necessary information. but i'll add the message from
the manpage to sshd.c
