OK, try this:
chown root:root /var/empty
Although, mine is owned by SYSTEM, so if that doesn't work, try:
chown SYSTEM:root /var/empty
I tried both and got errors. it complained that there was no such user
or group named root. So i tried "chown SYSTEM /var/empty" and it did not
work. The only time it(/usr/sbin/sshd) does not complain about the
folder rights is when I just delete the "empty" folder and create "mkdir
/var/empty" , straight with my admin account in the command line. The
sshd starts ok by firing /usr/bin/sshd. It seems to be listed in the
task list but none of the service running commands work, neither trying
to run it from the Windows service panel. I can login as "ssh
localhost", but none of the other defined users or networked computers
can connect to it. The passwd file lists these users properly as far as
I can tell.
here I am trying to login to ssh the first time(test purpose). Normally
it is supposed to create the home folder and give me a ncie cozzy welcome.
"$ ssh u...@localhost
u...@localhost's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
u...@localhost's password:
Could not chdir to home directory /home/ubun: No such file or directory
/bin/bash: Permission denied
Connection to localhost closed.

thanks
