The fix, adapted from [1]: > sudo dpkg-statoverride --update \ > --add root root 4755 /usr/lib/rssh/rssh_chroot_helper Run dpkg-reconfigure rssh. You apparently have your debconf prompting priority turned down too low to be asked whether you wanted rssh to be setuid root. (I'm not going to do this by default, since there are a lot of ways in which rssh is useful without it and I don't like introducing setuid binaries unless they're really required.) -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
