Error:

Starting sshd: Missing privilege separation directory: /var/empty/sshd

Error Message:

While starting the service, it will look for the symlink (softlink) to the 'localtime' and if it is unable to find then will result in the following error message.

Solution:

For the solution you have to access your Linux server with console as you are getting above error in your SSH. So access your server with console and run below commands.

Code:
mkdir /var/empty/sshd/etc
cd /var/empty/sshd/etc
ln -s /etc/localtime localtime
