Hi, when starting sshd, i get this error:

Code:

preben@gentoo preben $ sudo /etc/init.d/sshd start
 * Starting sshd...
Missing privilege separation directory: /var/empty                        [ !! ]
preben@gentoo preben $



How to correct.. It never worked on this computer!

Creating the directory /var/empty was the thing..

Thanks...

I didn't expect the location "empty" to be a directory-name... Thought it meant something else.. but hey - it worked!
