Xenial is now in Extended Security Maintenance and this bug doesn't qualify for it, so the bugfix won't be SRUed there.
** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: Triaged => Won't Fix -- 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/1645002 Title: ssh sessions are not cleanly terminated on shutdown/restart with systemd Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in openssh source package in Xenial: Won't Fix Status in openssh source package in Yakkety: Fix Released Status in openssh package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: In Ubuntu 16.04, a "reboot" command does not terminate the ssh session. This results in clients hanging, until timing out (sometimes as much as 120 seconds). This also introduces bugs to all orchestration / automation tools which work over SSH, since they cannot issue their reboot equivalent for Ubuntu 16.04 hosts. For example, have a look at this issue for Fabric: https://github.com/fabric/fabric/issues/1488 The exact same bug has been fixed in Debian in version openssh/1:7.2p2-6.
