Here is what happened when I tried to run the script: $ ssh-host-config *** Query: Overwrite existing /etc/ssh_config file? (yes/no) yes *** Info: Creating default /etc/ssh_config file *** Query: Overwrite existing /etc/sshd_config file? (yes/no) yes *** Info: Creating default /etc/sshd_config file *** Info: Privilege separation is set to yes by default since OpenSSH 3.3. *** Info: However, this requires a non-privileged account called 'sshd'. *** Info: For more info on privilege separation read /usr/share/doc/openssh/READ ME.privsep. *** Query: Should privilege separation be used? (yes/no) yes *** Warning: The permissions on the directory /var are not correct. *** Warning: They must match the regexp d..x..x..[xt] *** ERROR: Problem with /var directory. Exiting.
