RE: Running Sshd as non-root

Privilege Separated may be what your looking for.  It's not as simple as
run sshd as a different user.  OpenBSD come with it standard I believe.

I was trying to make my sshd more secure by running it on non-root user.
Can anyone help me out with it? Has anyone done that before?


I tried putting sudo for "service" command, and even "chown user:
/etc/init.d/sshd" but it is not doing it.

Any help appretiated  !!!
