Dr. Pechtchanski:
We solved our little problem with sshd failing to start, thanks to your clues.
First, /var/empty must be owned by SYSTEM. Second, /etc/ssh_host_key must be owned by SYSTEM or else protected 644. Protecting it 644 is a bad idea because it compromises security.
On the Windows/2K machine, which worked the first try, *all* of the files /etc/ssh* are owned by SYSTEM:None and /var/empty and /var/log/sshd.log are owned by SYSTEM:root
Thank you for your assistance.
Jeff
