Summary:                    SSHD User's Home Directory
Description: 
I was reviewing what components are in the package and I saw this directory
in the package map file:
/var/empty

After some research for /var/empty and OpenSSH, I see its typically used
as the home directory for the sshd user created in "preinstall" script. 
However the home directory for the sshd user in that script is "/var/run". 


I am thinking it might be advisable to make the home-directory for that
user the /var/empty directory.
