Re: Problem starting sshd as a service

Have a look into the script, right at the end. chown is only called if sshd has been installed as service. Otherwise the script assumes that sshd is going to be run from some user account in a console window. In that case, chown'ing to system wouldn't make much sense.

But would it hurt to chown even if sshd is going to be run from some user account in a console window? (Personally I find that assumption odd. Does anybody run sshd from some user account in a console window?) What would happen if things like /var/empty are always set to be owned by SYSTEM?
