Comment 5 for bug 45234

Hi,

when sshd is started thought xinetd, same issue appear, and this message is added to "/var/log/auth.log" :

Mar 25 18:31:58 xxxxx sshd[21619]: fatal: Missing privilege separation directory: /var/run/sshd

Root cause is that in xinetd openssd-server configuration, "/etc/init.d/ssh" is not started, an so "/var/run/sshd" folder is not created.

This should be fixed by adding in "/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh" :

[ -d /var/run/sshd ] || mkdir /var/run/sshd

  Regards,
