Report of regression bug + workaround: ssh-host-config (blocking sshd) on fresh installs of openssh-5.3p1-1


Problem report:
ssh-host-config gives incorrect permissions on /var/empty for fresh installs

Reproduce with:
1. rmdir /var/empty
2. ssh-host-config
3. ls -ld /var/empty
    shows: drwxr-xr-x+ 1 Administrator Domain Users 0 2010-01-08 15:48
/var/empty
(4. start sshd and    tail /var/log/sshd.log

WORKAROUND:
chown cyg_server:root /var/empty
I don't know if this is a correct workaround.


(Also just a mention: While installing the 1.7.1 DLL update some install
scripts from cygwin.exe ran amok and created a file /MZ? -- some strange
last character -- that keeps growing until cygwin.exe is stopped with
Cancel.  -rwxrwx-wx  1 Administrator root         86275165 2010-01-08
14:47 MZ?
This is how I came to run a fresh install, which works fine. Only packages
libncurses9, openssh and one more, but probably I'm to blame for
installing with files in use -- running update via a VNC tunneled over the
openssh binaries that were to be updated.)
