Package: openssh-server Version: 1:6.6p1-7 Followup-For: Bug #645788 I've noticed the same problem.
I had inetd running, but did *not* have sshd running via inetd. I have also verified that uninstalling (dpkg --purge) inetd does not fix the problem. Therefore, I'm sure that the inetd is not triggering this problem. I noticed that running "dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server" creates the directory /var/run/sshd. To me, this suggests the underlying problem here: the debian packaging assumes that creating /var/run/sshd directory once (during configuration) is sufficient. With /var/run now a sym-link to /var and that being tmpfs, this is no longer true. The solution is that the openssh-server package updates it's initrd and systemd entries so that, on start up, it checks the /var/run/sshd directory and creates it if it doesn't already exists. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.14-2-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages openssh-server depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.53 ii dpkg 1.17.13 ii init-system-helpers 1.21 ii libc6 2.19-9 ii libcomerr2 1.42.11-2 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.12.1+dfsg-7 ii libkrb5-3 1.12.1+dfsg-7 ii libpam-modules 1.1.8-3.1 ii libpam-runtime 1.1.8-3.1 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.1 ii libselinux1 2.3-1 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1i-2 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-25 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13 ii openssh-client 1:6.6p1-7 ii openssh-sftp-server 1:6.6p1-7 ii procps 1:3.3.9-7 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2 Versions of packages openssh-server recommends: ii ncurses-term 5.9+20140712-2 ii xauth 1:1.0.9-1 Versions of packages openssh-server suggests: pn molly-guard <none> pn monkeysphere <none> pn rssh <none> pn ssh-askpass <none> pn ufw <none> -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
