#7367 closed bug

sshd fails to load, due to missing directory /var/empty — at Version 1

Description (last modified by mmadia)

hrev40924.

By default, /boot/common/settings/network/services launches /boot/common/bin/sshd -D . However, on a cleanly installed partition, /var/empty does not exist, thus sshd fails to start :

~/Desktop> /boot/common/bin/sshd -D
Missing privilege separation directory: /var/empty

browser:haiku/trunk/build/jam/OptionalPackages:1225 , specifies the /var/empty directory.

		AddUserToHaikuImage sshd : 1001 : 100 : /var/empty : /bin/true
			: "sshd user" ;

It appears that common/var/empty is indeed added to the image file, as specifed by HaikuImage, but Installer ignores var and thus /var/empty goes missing on the installed partition.

hrev35173 appears to be the culprit.
