OK, try this:

I tried both and got errors. it complained that there was no such user 
or group named root. So i tried "chown SYSTEM /var/empty" and it did not 
work. The only time it(/usr/sbin/sshd)  does not complain about the 
folder rights is when I just delete the "empty" folder and create "mkdir 
/var/empty" , straight with my admin account in the command line. The 
sshd starts ok by firing /usr/bin/sshd. It seems to be listed in the 
task list but none of the service running commands work, neither trying 
to run it from the Windows service panel. I can login as "ssh 
localhost", but none of the other defined users or networked computers 
can connect to it. The passwd file lists these users properly as far as 
I can tell.

here I am trying to login to ssh the first time(test purpose). Normally 
it is supposed to create the home folder and give me a ncie cozzy welcome.

"$ ssh ubun AT localhost
ubun AT localhost's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
ubun AT localhost's password:
Could not chdir to home directory /home/ubun: No such file or directory
/bin/bash: Permission denied
Connection to localhost closed.

thanks
