...
ExecReload=/usr/sbin/sshd -t
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID

Title:
sshd failed on config reload
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
After adding some lines to /etc/ssh/sshd_config I tried to reload the
configuration with the command:
```
sudo systemctl reload sshd
```
No error message was returned. So I assumed that the sshd was running
with the current config. But `sudo systemctl status sshd` told me that
the service failed due to a wrong option in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
Please see the following output:
~~~
:~$ sudo vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
:~$ sudo systemctl reload sshd
:~$ sudo systemctl status sshd
● ssh.service - OpenBSD Secure Shell server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ssh.service; enabled; vendor preset:

Process: 12089 ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID (code=exited,
status=0/SUCCESS)
Process: 7536 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/sshd -D $SSHD_OPTS (code=exited,
status=255)
Main PID: 7536 (code=exited, status=255)
~~~
I would expect that a warning or error message is returned when the
service fails while reloading it's configuration.
A fix for this behaviour would be appreciated.
