Linux SSH cannot be started-Linux Enterprise Application-Linux server application information. See the following for details. In the last few days, a problem occurred when logging on to Linux via SSH. The problem is as follows:

/Var/empty/sshd must be owned by root and not group or world-writable.

Problem:

Linux SSH cannot be started
Report/var/empty/sshd must be owned by root and not group or world-writable.

Solution:

First, go to linux Through the physical terminal, and manually check ssh to find that it is not running.
-Bash-2.05b #/etc/init. d/sshd status
Sshd is stopped

Manually start the service and report permission errors.
-Bash-2.05b #/etc/init. d/sshd start
Starting sshd:/var/empty/sshd must be owned by root and not group or world-writable.
[FAILED]
-Bash-2.05b #

Run the rpm-V command to check that the ssh software package is normal, but the owner of a directory is incorrect.
-Bash-2.05b # rpm-V openssh-server
S.5...... c/etc/ssh/sshd_config
... U.../var/empty/sshd
-Bash-2.05b #

It is found that the owner of this directory is not root, so an error is reported when the ssh service is started.
-Bash-2.05b # ls-ld/var/empty/sshd/
D -- x 2 vu00106 root 1024 Feb 2 2005/var/empty/sshd/
