This is true: systemd has taken port 22 to start sshd if one connects to port 22. two solutions: 1. dont start sshd after installing. configure it without starting it afterwards. 2. stop systemd listening on port 22 before starting sshd, then start sshd, terminate it after configuring, then start systemd listening on port 22 again. Second problem: starting ssh.service does not check if "/run/sshd" exists. This directory has to be created before sshd is started. Unclear if this is an error with sshd not creating this directory before dropping privileges or if this has to be done once while installing. IMHO the first is the case. Workaround: systemctl stop ssh.service systemctl disable ssh.service apt upgrade systemctl enable ssh.service killall sshd mkdir /run/sshd systemctl start ssh.service ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 21.10 Package: openssh-server 1:8.4p1-6ubuntu2.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.13.0-23.23-generic 5.13.19 Uname: Linux 5.13.0-23-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zavl icp zcommon znvpair ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu71 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Tue Jan 11 19:11:47 2022 InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-08-18 (146 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 21.04 "Hirsute Hippo" - Release amd64 (20210420) SSHDConfig: Error: command ['pkexec', '/usr/sbin/sshd', '-T'] failed with exit code 255: Missing privilege separation directory: /run/sshd SourcePackage: openssh UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1957104/+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
