openssh unix dev - Jun 2002 - [Bug 308] New: openssh 3.4 won't install or run on Solaris 8, on an Ultra 10 Sparc station

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308

           Summary: openssh 3.4 won't install or run on Solaris 8, on an
                    Ultra 10 Sparc station
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: UltraSparc
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P1
         Component: Build system
        AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: margaret_doll at brown.edu


I had openssh running on Ultra 10 systems running Solaris 8.  I have
sshd:x:74:74::/var/empty/sshd:/bin/false  	in /etc/passwd
sshd:x:11864::::::
			in /etc/shadow
sshd::74:
				added in /etc/group

When I "make install" for openssh 3.4 on these systems, I get the
following error:

id sshd || \
        echo "WARNING: Privilege separation user \"sshd\" does
not exist"
id: invalid user name: "sshd" 


When I try to start 3.4, I get

 /etc/init.d/sshd start
Bad owner or mode for /var/empty

or starting directly from the file: 

./sshd
Privilege separation user sshd does not exist


WARNING:ls -sal /var/empty

I'm not sure if i can/allow to answer, but this is NOT a bug in 3.4
I compiled and installed 3.4 on well over 40 Sun system all running
Solaris (include 1 Ultra 10) and 4x X86 systems...

try to do this
	truss -f -o truss.out {where-is-your}/sshd
and show me the output ...and how about the flags used to compile the
binary?? maybe you sepc. a diff user???
