Thanks for the confirmation Gennady. Now that there is a suggested and confirmed solution, would anybody that personally requires (alway better to make an argument) this fix mind filing this in Debian as well to be changed in ./debian/systemd/ssh.service. I'd think at least eventually we want to be in sync on this behavior.
@CJWatson - since you usually do the openssh uploads what do you think about adding that for now on your next upload? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216847 Title: sshd will not start at boot if ListenAddress is set, because network interface is not yet up Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: openssh-server The sshd will not start at boot if the ListenAddress option in /etc/ssh/sshd_config is set to an IPv4 address other then 0.0.0.0 . I am using Ubuntu 7.10 and the version 1:4.6p1-5ubuntu0.2 of the openssh-server package. I would expect that sshd is started after boot but it will not and I found this in /var/log/auth.log: sshd[4527]: error: Bind to port 22 on 10.1.1.22 failed: Cannot assign requested address. sshd[4527]: fatal: Cannot bind any address. Once the System is started you can start/stop the sshd with the /etc/init.d/ssh script without any problems.
