[Bug 617515] [NEW] /etc/init.d/ssh stop doesn't work (sshd just won't die)

[Andrew Todd]

Public bug reported:

I discovered yesterday that my system still had an sshd process spawned
at boot, despite my having turned off the ssh service with rcconf quite
a while ago. Moreover, killing this process with "/etc/init.d/ssh stop"
resulted in an immediate respawn (with no complaints from the script
that this is no longer the preferred way to do things).

Some self-education about Upstart followed. It looks like the settings
in /etc/init/ssh.conf are overriding user settings made through the
legacy rc system.

Please also reference this thread:

(Also, what is the best way to disable sshd at boot under Upstart?)
