I could login from the console. This is quite odd:

  Oct 30 18:09:08 usr sshd[17261]: fatal: Missing privilege separation directory: /var/run/sshd

This (empty) directory would normally belong to openssh-server, which
was installed. I reinstalled the package to create the directory, but
I'm mystified why it had disappeared in the first place.

I'm auditing for rootkits etc. Please remind all users to keep their ssh
keys password-protected on disk and adopt basic security practices to
protect their accounts, such as not using Windows, etc.
