Public bug reported:

OpenSSH 7.9p1
Ubuntu 18..04.2 (LTS)

If a sshd daemon is started with a "-f my_sshd_config" command-line
specification the sshd process still requires the existence of the
sshd_config. The bug is somewhere in one of the forked processes started
when an external client attempts a connection. Since the sshd_config
file does not exists, an external client connection cannot be started.

Solution: If I "touch /etc/ssh/sshd_config" then the lock-up issue goes
away and I am successfully able to login.

Bug: If the sshd configuration file is specified in the command line
execution of the daeomon, then this should be the only file that should
be required.
