Gurus: The overwhelming verdict is that I do have create a user 'sshd' in order for the OpenSSH application to install correctly. Had I paid closer attention to the Sun Freeware site, I would have noticed the link to the installation instructions: http://www.sunfreeware.com/openssh8.html Many of you provided this link for me. Thank you. Two provided a direct link to the question that I asked specifically about Privilege Separation: http://sunsite.univie.ac.at/Freeware/README.privsep <http://www.citi.umich.edu/u/provos/ssh/privsep.html> Others provided me typed instructions... (THANK YOU !!!); while others provided additional links to sites: <http://www.unixguide.net/comments/sun/ssh_installation.shtml/24.shtml> Thank you to everyone who provided me with the information. I greatly appreciate your time and efforts.
