Hello All,
You might get the “cp: cannot create regular file `/var/empty/sshd/etc’: No Such file or directory” while starting the ssh service some time, to solve it you just need to create the directory with same path using below commands :
root@mylocalhost [~]# /etc/init.d/sshd start
cp: cannot create regular file `/var/empty/sshd/etc’: No such file or directory
This error is due to the missing folder /var/empty/sshd/etc.
To sort this you can use the following steps:
root@mylocalhost [~]# mkdir -p /var/empty/sshd/etc
root@mylocalhost [~]# chmod 755 /var/empty/sshd/etc
root@mylocalhost [~]# chown root.root /var/empty/sshd/etc
Now try restarting SSH.
root@mylocalhost [~]# /etc/init.d/sshd start
Starting sshd: [ OK ]
root@mylocalhost [~]#
Regards,
