Oops, I also meant to ask you to cat the /var/run/sshd.pid to make sure it is in fact the same as the one in status.
My suspicion is/was that the upstart managed sshd is conflicting with a /etc/init.d/ssh managed sshd. On second thought I'm not so sure. Can you try running an sshd in debug mode on an alternate port on the server? /usr/sbin/sshd -dd -p 2222 Then connect to it with ssh -p 2222 affected_host and paste the output of those, noting when the disconnection happens? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/716310 Title: ssh connections disconnects automatically -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
