[Bug 1022434] Re: sshd server crashes on startup

[Robert John Bowles]

Hi Robie

I have tried doing as you suggest, but the automatic upload of the 
information appears not to be working. Possibly this is another symptom 
of the same problem. I also tried implementing the upload from the 
command line, but the upload failed there, too.

I am attaching TWO crash reports to this email, one from sshd, and one 
from dropbear, both generated in the last few minutes.

I have crash reports on my other computer for dropbear and sshd for last 
Friday, but the automatic process failed there because I had removed the 
packages. Ironically, when I re-installed openssh-server on that machine 
to enable reporting of the crashes, it obligingly worked right away. 
Whether this is some kind of fluke or what, I cannot say. I went round 
the loop purging and re-installing sshd so many times on Friday, all to 
no avail.

So, sshd has started working on one of the computers as mysteriously as 
it stopped. On the other computer, sshd, dropbear _and_ ubuntu-bug all 
seem to have problems. Crash reports are attached, as they failed to 
automatically upload.

Best Wishes   Bob Bowles
