Description Art Bragg 2001-12-17 11:27:45 AEDT 
An sshd.pid file in /var/run with root ownership is nonremovable and not
modifiable.  Attempts to remove said file produces error: "rm:  cannot unlink
'sshd.pid': Operation not permitted."  This message is likewise produced when
attempting to restart the ssh daemon ('/etc/inet.d/rc.d/sshd restart').
