Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:6.7p1-6
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
openssh-server is not starting at boot if the iface is not up.
Nowadays, the if-up.d/openssh-server script is reloading or restarting but not
starting the service.
Attached is a patch that can make openssh-server try to start when any iface
(except loopback) is raised.
I've already tested this patch on my system.
Hope you'll find it useful.
Regards,
