New description:
r40924.
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.
r35173 appears to be the culprit.
