Issue description

First of all this is related to #18358 & #18365.

Somehow /var/empty was owned by user nathan:users before upgrading to NixOS 16.09 (coming from 16.03). This is of course the wrong owner, it should be root:root.

Ssh and other services failed to start because of the wrong ownership.

Steps to resolve

chattr -i /var/empty
chown root:root
chattr +i /var/empty

Todo

Add a chown step to #18365.

Technical details

  • System: 16.09.695.45b2a6d (Flounder)
  • Nix version: nix-env (Nix) 1.11.4
  • Nixpkgs version: "16.09.695.45b2a6d"
