The instructions for sshd (/usr/share/doc/openssh/README.privsep) 
include the following:

You should do something like the following to prepare the privsep
preauth environment:

    # mkdir /var/empty
    # chown root:sys /var/empty
    # chmod 755 /var/empty
    # groupadd sshd
    # useradd -g sshd -c 'sshd privsep' -d /var/empty -s /bin/false sshd

I used XP's Manage/User Accounts to add a group called sshd.
When I tried to create a user "sshd", it complained, saying that the 
group already exists.

1. Which package has "useradd" and "groupadd"?
2. Is it possible to create sshd:sshd?

Thanks,
Steve
