I had similar problems in the past week on 3 machines, but did not look 
at the script.  Have to admit that I read *very* little of the doc for 
setting up ssh however (my bad), and plugged away.  Finding the eventvwr 
message about not getting to /var/empty and looking at that led me to 
the same solution on the chown SYSTEM invocation.  All I had done, 
following a clean install was ssh-host-config (and ssh-user-config on 
one system trying to figure it out).  At least a hint from the script 
that it is running without an installed service might be helpful (and 
yes I'll see if I can't find the time to make the mods as well).

Keep up the good work!
