Mark,
  Well, the good news is, I got ssh-host-config to work!
  The bad news is, I don't know what to do next. I am looking at readme files and what not, but if you know where the instructions are on how to setup public key authentication on an sftp server, please feel free to point me in the right direction. The server that will be sending its backup data to the sftp server wants the following info (in a web form):
Server Name:    
Server Port:    
Server Path:    
User Name:    
Key:   
Key Password:
(optional)
  Do I have to be logged in as the Username I generate the key for and then run the shell and type ssh-user-config or?
  Key is a text box, I assume after I figure out which key file it is using, I willopen it and copy the contents into this web form, no?
  Thanks for all your help guys, I feel like I am really close.
Dave M

That shows the permissions on the files *inside* of /var, not /var
itself.  Add  the -d option to ls (ls -ld /var) to see the permissions
on /var itself.

But chances are it's like /var/cache, /var/lib, /var/run, and /var/tmp
in your output, which have no "other" access at all, when they need at
least execute.

/var/empty, which you mentioned, already has the right permissions, as
does /var/log.  Very odd.
