[Bug 1521745] Re: sshd will fail to start or restart if non-default Port option is incorrectly put after a non-default ListenAddress

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for the update.

On looking again I noticed this from the documentation you quoted in
your original report:

"If port is not specified, sshd will listen on the address and all prior
Port options specified."

I'm sorry I didn't notice this the first time round. Given the word
"prior" in that sentence, it seems to me that the behaviour you're
reporting is as documented?

I will accept an argument that this is either counter-intuitive and
shouldn't behave that way, or not documented clearly enough. But we
can't fix that in Ubuntu directly, so I suggest that you engage upstream
on that if you wish.

I'm marking this bug as Invalid on the basis that I believe the
behaviour you're reporting is working as documented, but if you disagree
please explain and change the bug status back to New.

** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Invalid
