[Bug 216847] Re: sshd will not start at boot if ListenAddress is set, because network interface is not yet up

[Dirk Schuster]

same problem with package openssh-server of Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy)

error messages in /var/log/auth.log after boot process:
Nov  1 17:31:46 pc sshd[1209]: error: Bind to port xxx on yyy.yyy.y.y failed: Cannot assign requested address.
Nov  1 17:31:46 pc sshd[1209]: fatal: Cannot bind any address.

reason:
/etc/ssh/sshd_config uses ListenAddress option

solution:
in /etc/init/ssh.conf
change line
start on runlevel [2345]
to
start on runlevel [2345] and net-device-up IFACE!=lo

message in /var/log/auth.log after boot process now:
Nov  1 17:39:20 pc sshd[1518]: Server listening on yyy.yyy.y.y port xxx.


What needs to be done, so that the solution will get into the package? Could anybody help?
