I have a serious problem and need help. I am trying to run ssh and continue to get the error "daemon() failed" whenever I try to start it. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to fix this problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

By the way I am using SuSE 9.1 and its version 3.8p1 of sshd

That's usually caused by incorrect permissions on /dev/null (should be a character special device, mode 666)


If that's not it, try starting sshd under strace (eg "strace -f /path/to/sshd") and see what's failing.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
