>Description:
 Trying to connect with a client to an sshd server using sftpd the client  fails connection invariably complaining:
....
sftp-server: Command not found.
Fatal: unable to initialise SFTP: could not connect
.......

Instead ssh, scp work fine
>How-To-Repeat:
Reconnecting via sftpd
>Fix:
 The last line of the boxed file /etc/ssh/sshd_config says:
subsystem   sftp   /usr/lib/misc/sftp-server  

1) change this line into
subsystem   sftp   /usr/libexec/sftp-server
(as a matter of fact the command sftp-server is in this latter directory)
2) stop sshd with killall sshd as root
3) restart sshd with sshd
