[Bug 2087551] Re: OpenSSH server config broken on unattended update

[Chris Leonard]

Thanks.

This has restored socket-based activation, but with a different
configuration than I had earlier, and has not reproduced the problem.

I've confirmed that this really is socket-based activation by stopping
the ssh service in the recovery console, confirming sshd is dead, and
reconnecting, which worked fine.

Unfortunately I didn't save the old socket configuration.

Title:
  OpenSSH server config broken on unattended update

Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My server performed unattended update of openssh-server from
  1:9.6p1-3ubuntu13.5 to 1:9.6p1-3ubuntu13.7, and after this I could not
  access ssh anymore, connection refused.

  Following the steps at the bottom of this post to use non-socket-
  based-activation has allowed me to connect to the server again:

  https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/sshd-now-uses-socket-based-activation-
  ubuntu-22-10-and-later/30189

  I suspect this is related to using a non-default port, although the
  systemd socket configuration appeared to exist with correct values, as
  well as the custom port value in sshd_config, before making the above
  change.
