Re: Struggling to setup sshd with Windows Vista

["Kevin Hilton" <kevhilton at gmail dot com>]

Just another thing that I have noticed:

$ /usr/sbin/sshd -d -d -d -D
debug2: load_server_config: filename /etc/sshd_config
debug2: load_server_config: done config len = 210
debug2: parse_server_config: config /etc/sshd_config len 210
debug3: /etc/sshd_config:13 setting Port 22
debug3: /etc/sshd_config:21 setting Protocol 2
debug3: /etc/sshd_config:42 setting StrictModes no
debug3: /etc/sshd_config:96 setting UsePrivilegeSeparation yes
debug3: /etc/sshd_config:110 setting Subsystem sftp     /usr/sbin/sftp-server
debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_4.7p1
debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key.
debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA
debug1: private host key: #0 type 1 RSA
debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key.
debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA
debug1: private host key: #1 type 2 DSA
/var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable.

Who should be the owner of /var/empty.  Right now I have:
drwxr-xr-x+  2 SYSTEM SYSTEM       0 Dec 22 22:40 empty
