Greetings, First off, thank you for your work on this issue.
After spending a bit more that 6 hours strugging with this issue on a KVM VM running headless debian-testing, I simply want to add the following: - If you do not realize that the problem has something to do with crng, finding this bug report on a search engine is a bit difficult. - Installing haveged is what finally solved it and brough me straight here. Finding the solution was a bit of a stroke of luck (i.e. haveged is one of the packages I install on production VMs from my ansible playbook, and one such VM did not have this issue). It would definitely have saved me a lot of time if this issue was more easily accessible through a search engine / listchanges mentioned it. NB: Going through bug reports for openssh-server on the tracker is one of the first thing I did, unfortunately it had been bumped somewhere else by that time. Hopefully this entry will help people using a search engine to figure out why they need to log in on their VM through console for sshd to start listening on the network. Once again, thank you to everyone who pitched in in here. Best regards, -- Nathan Anthonypillai GPG Public Key: https://pgp.key-server.io/search/[email protected]
