[Bug 251620] Re: openssh-server is unable to receive connections on some ports

[liorda]

Oops...

It turned out that my regular user (not root) started sshd with that
port number. and since only root allowed to open "high" ports, the
connection got terminated.

1. why did sshd / ubuntu allowed the regular user to even start the service, when it's clear no connections will be received?
2. can't the second sshd instance detect such a port collision, and warn about it?

mcas, thanks for helping.
