Well isn't that wonderful news.
Hopefully it will work out.

New problem.
Now SSH is not starting.
I rebooted my machine because top showed that system was low on memory.
Now SSH is not starting and i dont know what i did.
There was some issues with /var/empty/sshd, so I created the path.
Now they system won't start.. here is my telnet connection (because no choice
tell ssh is working).

[root@ns /root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd start
Starting sshd: This platform does not support both privilege separation and
compression
Compression disabled
Bad owner or mode for /var/empty/sshd
ERROR!
[root@ns /root]# cd /var/empty
[root@ns empty]# ls sshd
[root@ns empty]# rmdir sshd
[root@ns empty]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd start
Starting sshd: This platform does not support both privilege separation and
compression
Compression disabled
Missing privilege separation directory: /var/empty/sshd
ERROR!
[root@ns empty]#

What does this mean? How do I get SSH back?
