Gurus,

I am extremely wet behind the ear with openssh and am getting an error
message when trying to start the daemon. The message is as follows:

        privilege separation user sshd does not exist

The daemon then fails to start. Is the sshd looking for a user sshd? If
so, what should be it's home directory (/usr/local)? Does anyone have any
good references for openssh? I have downloaded several Sun blueprints and
read through the openssh readme with no decent data provided. My
particulars are as follows:

        Sun 280R / Solaris 8 02-02 / latest bulk patch using 108528-23
        zlib 1.1.4
        openssl 0.9.7.b
        openssh 3.6.1p1
        libgcc 3.3

All were downloaded from Sun Freeware as packages. Any and all information
would be appreciated. I will summarize.
