On a side note, the sshd_config file appears to be sane. At least no errors are being presented, so I don't believe this is OpenSSH related. root@localdev14:~# sshd -T port 22 protocol 2 addressfamily any listenaddress 0.0.0.0:22 listenaddress [::]:22 usepam 1 serverkeybits 1024 logingracetime 120 keyregenerationinterval 3600 x11displayoffset 10 maxauthtries 6 maxsessions 10 clientaliveinterval 0 clientalivecountmax 3 permitrootlogin no ignorerhosts yes ignoreuserknownhosts no rhostsrsaauthentication no hostbasedauthentication no hostbasedusesnamefrompacketonly no rsaauthentication yes pubkeyauthentication yes passwordauthentication yes kbdinteractiveauthentication yes challengeresponseauthentication no printmotd no printlastlog yes x11forwarding yes x11uselocalhost yes strictmodes yes tcpkeepalive yes permitemptypasswords no permituserenvironment no uselogin no compression delayed gatewayports no usedns yes allowtcpforwarding yes useprivilegeseparation yes pidfile /var/run/sshd.pid xauthlocation /usr/bin/xauth authorizedkeysfile %h/.ssh/authorized_keys authorizedkeysfile2 %h/.ssh/authorized_keys loglevel INFO syslogfacility AUTH hostkey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key hostkey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key hostkey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key acceptenv LANG acceptenv LC_* subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server maxstartups 10:100:10 permittunnel no ipqos 0x10 0x08 permitopen any root@localdev14:~# System Specs: root@localdev14:~# lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Release: 14.04 root@localdev14:~# apt-cache policy upstart upstart: Installed: 1.12.1-0ubuntu4 Candidate: 1.12.1-0ubuntu4 Version table: *** 1.12.1-0ubuntu4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1329939/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
