Sorry, I didn't want to offend you! - when answering, I deleted the

Nowhere. "/var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-
writable" - that's pretty clear, isn't it?!
I've already recognized this message, but as I wanted to chown to
root, I was told that there's no "root"-user in the system...
Now I "chown"ed to myself:root and now it works -> sshd is up for one
connection ("ssh localhost") and ends when closing the connection.
Afterwards I "chown"ed /var/empty/ to SYSTEM:root and again tried to
start sshd as a service, but same error-message as before -> did I
come closer to the solution, now I know, that sshd works from
commandline?
thanks for your assistance
