ssh broken?

[Tobias Kieslich]

Hi,

        I frequently ssh into localhost to sync files with unison. THat seems
to be broken after the lates pacman -Syu which removed /var/empty.

Is there sombody else who sees the same behavior?

The upgrade to openntpd removed it. The idea was to avoid sharing this
directory between the two of them so neither could break the other,
but unfortunately it created a painful upgrade path.

There is a forum thread and (I think) a bug report on this.

I'll push a version with
[ -d /var/empty ] || mkdir -p /var/empty
in the init script tonight. This is the safest way IMO.

Thanks Thomas, sounds good. I think I'll wait until I update my server
:P
