<question id="var-empty">
<para>What is <filename>/var/empty</filename>? I can not delete it!</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para><filename>/var/empty</filename> is a directory that the
&man.sshd.8; program uses when performing privilege separation.
The <filename>/var/empty</filename> directory is empty, owned by
<username>root</username> and has the <literal>schg</literal>
flag set.</para>
<para>Although it is not recommended to delete this directory, to
do so you will need to unset the <literal>schg</literal> flag
first. See the &man.chflags.1; manual page for more information
(and bear in mind the answer to <link linkend="unsetting-schg">
the question on unsetting the schg flag</link>).
