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. ** Affects: openssh (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1834129 Title: Presence of sshd_config mandatory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1834129/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
