[gentoo-alpha] Missing GID/UID for sshd

[gentoo-alpha] Missing GID/UID for sshd

[Rikard Johnels]

Tried starting sshd to remotely install Gentoo on my AlphaStation.
sshd yells at me for not having privileged group
It generates the keys, but stops with:
"Privilege separation user sshd does not exist"

I groupadd'ed an useradd'ed sshd with GID=65 and UID=71 from my SuSE 
instalation
~> cat /etc/group|grep sshd
sshd:x:65:
~> cat /etc/passwd|grep sshd
sshd:x:71:65:SSH daemon:/var/lib/sshd:/bin/false

Maybe something to correct in the Stage1 tarball for Alpha

I've installed from alpha stage1 numerous times using sshd and never
had this problem.  I don't know what we're doing differently...

Bryan is in the middle of generating new stages.  Maybe you can give
them a try when he's done?

Aron
