Hi everyone, the patch eab097c682ed31efd8668f46fce8de8f73b92849 causes
sshd to now use /var/empty as a chroot directory. sshd expects
/var/empty to belong to root and with reduced write permissions.
Unfortunately, when the nslcd service is also present on the system, it
creates a user whose home directory is also /var/empty, which in this
case belongs to the nslcd user.
In this case, sshd refuses to start.
I think the patch eab097c682ed31efd8668f46fce8de8f73b92849 is correct,
and that nslcd should be changed to create /var/empty with the directory
property set to root. But I don't know if there are any side effects to
worry about with nslcd ?
(I think the relevant code is in : services/authentication.scm), in
(|define %nslcd-accounts)
