Gurus:
The overwhelming verdict is that I do have create a user 'sshd' in order for
the OpenSSH application to install correctly. Had I paid closer attention
to the Sun Freeware site, I would have noticed the link to the installation
instructions:
http://www.sunfreeware.com/openssh8.html
Many of you provided this link for me. Thank you. Two provided a direct
link to the question that I asked specifically about Privilege Separation:
http://sunsite.univie.ac.at/Freeware/README.privsep
<http://www.citi.umich.edu/u/provos/ssh/privsep.html>
Others provided me typed instructions... (THANK YOU !!!); while others
provided additional links to sites:
<http://www.unixguide.net/comments/sun/ssh_installation.shtml/24.shtml>
Thank you to everyone who provided me with the information. I greatly
appreciate your time and efforts.
Paul
