Thank-you for your advice.  After monitoring
ktrace -f /tmp/sshd-empty.dmp /usr/sbin/sshd -d -e
/var/empty is used.

My time will be better spent learning how sshd (& dovecot) use 
/var/empty for priv separation. :)

Kind regards, Dewayne
PS I'm making a very small footprint 14.2S system, clearly /var/empty is 
critical for a functioning sshd.
