>Description:
	After a portupgrade of openssh-portable to openssh-portable-3.3p,
	sshd refused to start.  It failed with:
	Privilege separation user sshd does not exist
	
	after adding:
	sshd:*:27:27::0:0:sshd privsep:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
	
	to the password file, it failed looking for /var/emtpy.
>How-To-Repeat:
	make install on the openssh-portable port
	
>Fix:
	add sshd:*:27:27::0:0:sshd privsep:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin
	to the password file and
	mkdir /var/empty/;chown sshd /var/empty

	atleast that's what I did and it worked :)
