Re: sshd problem

What user did you create for sshd? You need to create a user that has it's own group.

Here's mine:

/etc/passwd

sshd:*:103:102:sshd privsep:/var/empty:/bin/false

/etc/group

sshd::102:

Re: sshd problem

The user sshd does not exist on the system

Create the user and try starting sshd
