Has anyone ran into this problem? Should i just ignore it?

i configured openssh 3.4 like this:

adduser sshd -d /var/tmp -s /bin/false
./configure --with-md5-passwords --with-privsep-path=/var/tmp --with-privsep-user=sshd --with-tcp-wrappers
make
rm -f /usr/local/etc/ssh*
make install

but when i do make install i get this

echo "WARNING: Privilege separation user \"sshd\" does not exist"
uid=521(sshd) gid=521(sshd) groups=521(sshd)

Shoudl i just ignore it? or..? am i doin gsomething wrong

read the instructions.

gotta make an sshd user and group with a shell of /bin/false or whatever and a home of /var/emtpy

NEEDS TO BE /var/emtpy unless you make other changes.

also, if you're in linux, don't forget --with-pam. you probably want it...

-davidu

okay well
this is what i just did

rm -rf /var/empty
userdel sshd
groupdel sshd

mkdir /var/empty
chown root:sys /var/empty
chmod 755 /var/empty
groupadd sshd
useradd -g sshd -c 'sshd privsep' -d /var/empty -s /bin/false sshd

./configure --with-md5-passwords --with-tcp-wrappers



first few commands i did to undo anything i shouldnt of been doing
and now i still get

5c:bf:e5:e4:ef:89:62:59:32:a9:10:b3:5b:63:15:98 root@mydomain.com
id sshd || \
echo "WARNING: Privilege separation user \"sshd\" does not exist"
uid=521(sshd) gid=521(sshd) groups=521(sshd)

the instructions in bold, i got straight from README.privsep

i mean should i just run it anyway?
i've "read the instructions"
and i still get the same crap

anyone else get this?

maybe yes....


I'd turn on telnet while you restart ssh just in case.

or just test it on a different port (-p 8022) before you make install.

-davidu

yeah...
i always turn on telnet
then do it
safer

so shoudl i still have UsePrivilegeSeparation yes uncommented in my sshd_config

yep
i used it
and it works i guess
