Thanks guys. I didn't mean to waste your time on something simple.....I apologize.
You're welcome.
I'm still surprised, that you had to create the directory manually.
On my machine in my
/etc/init.d/ssh file I can see clearly followign lines:
check_privsep_dir() {
# Create the PrivSep empty dir if necessary
if [ ! -d /var/run/sshd ]; then
mkdir /var/run/sshd
chmod 0755 /var/run/sshd
fi
}
If due to special setup reasons you don't have (or can't use) /etc/init.d/ssh, then I suggest,
to create a similiar file.
You could inspire yourself by looking at Ubuntu's one
which is called in the start() section
