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.
