I had similar problems in the past week on 3 machines, but did not look
at the script. Have to admit that I read *very* little of the doc for
setting up ssh however (my bad), and plugged away. Finding the eventvwr
message about not getting to /var/empty and looking at that led me to
the same solution on the chown SYSTEM invocation. All I had done,
following a clean install was ssh-host-config (and ssh-user-config on
one system trying to figure it out). At least a hint from the script
that it is running without an installed service might be helpful (and
yes I'll see if I can't find the time to make the mods as well).
Keep up the good work!
