Forum Topic - sshd manual installation: (3 Items)
   
sshd manual installation  
I have an embedded system which is un-writable (must be flashed).  I am trying to manually install sshd.  I try to start
 sshd giving it path to key and the config file.  But I get 

Privilege separation user sshd does not exist

I created a sshd user with this;

passwd:
sshd:x:74:481:Privilege-separated SSH::

group:
sshd:x:481

shadow:
sshd:!!:14769::::::

But I still get this message.

Thank you,

Durwin

Check out the normal install.  The above should look like:
sshd:x:74:481:sshd:/var/chroot/sshd:/bin/false

/var/chroot/sshd must exist and should have owners/perms like:

drwxr-xr-x  2 root      root           1024 Jun 02 13:55 /var/chroot/sshd

Re: sshd manual installation  
Thank you.  I shall give that a try.  Right now I am busy recovering from a server hardware failure.
