The whatever caused this "> Failed to restart ssh.socket: Unit ssh.socket has a bad unit file setting." is related to the 22.04 install. The openSSH-server on machine-1 only has customs ports in the sshd_config and the rest of the config in the sshd_config.d drop in folder. Everything related to systemd was never touched.
I joined the sshd config from machine 1. My local machine is the one that refuses to boot after I change accept=no to yes in ssh.socket, systemctl daemon-reload and reboot. I tried to change no to yes to reflect 22.04 settings as I missed the news and I didn't Ubuntu uses socket to save some 9MB of memory(...) when openssh-server isn't used. I didn't try on my live server but I'm pretty sure if I tried the result would be the same. ** Attachment added: "sshd_config-machine1.zip" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1993869/+attachment/5626572/+files/sshd_config-machine1.zip -- 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/1993869 Title: openssh-server cannot listen or bind to anything other than :::2 after upgrading to 22.10 from 22.04 Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This is a bug report to separate the second issue that was reported in this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1993478 There's an issue after upgrading to 22.10 from 22.04 that prevents opensshd from listening to anything other than :::2. I already commented in the bug report I linked, so I'll just copy/paste and add some details. I guess. The issue is that after upgrading, sshd doesn't use the Listen port or ListenAddress config from the sshd_config file or any custom config file that was in the sshd_config.d drop in folder anymore. Other drop in settings from sshd.config.d seem to be applied normally, the issue seem to be only for IP binding and custom ports. If I change Accept=no by Accept=yes in ssh.socket and reloads the socket unit, I can start sshd on a different port and I can also bind the IP to something else than :: There's an issue still, an instance of sshd is still listening to :::22 that is not started by SSHD but by init. root@ubuntulocal:~# netstat -antp Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 568/vsftpd tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:622 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 571/sshd: /usr/sbin tcp 0 272 192.168.1.225:622 192.168.1.220:2473 ESTABLISHED 1027/sshd: root@pts tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 1/init If I reboot after changing this no to yes in ssh.socket does not survive a reboot and fails to load sshd with a "Failed to queue service startup job" error.
