This is severity inflation; I've downgraded it. (It's only unusable on
very broken systems.)
Ok.
The sshd daemon fails to start if /dev/null is a regular file.
You can start sshd in debug mode (sshd -d) but when you try to start it
normally it fails to go to background.
The program logs the following error:
daemon() failed: Success
The poor error reporting is largely the fault of the C library. See the
daemon(3) man page.
Are you sure? I din't check the code, but looks like poor error checking
in the code.
Do you mean that libc is opening /dev/null by itself?
