I'm running cygwin on windows, and the new version of ssh is complaining about /var/empty, saying it needs to be owned by root and not group or world writable. Since there is no root on windows, what is it wanting? Tried the account called 'root' (Administrator on my machine), but it didn't like that:> llg -a /var/emptytotal 4 drwx------+ 1 root Administrators 0 Oct 11 2014 ./ Also tried changing root to UID=0 in cygwin, but it didn't like that either:> llg -an /var/emptytotal 4 drwx------+ 1 0 544 0 Oct 11 2014 ./ So what is it wanting? Is there a way to turn off config checking akin to sendmail's "dontblamesendmail" option? Thanks! -l
