A followup on bug #86908 gives a solution, or is it a workaround: : This is related to the addition of libcap support to pam_limits.so, which is : called from /etc/pam.d/ssh. A workaround is to remove or comment out the : : session required pam_limits.so : : line in this file, but the fix ultimately needs to be made in the : libpam-modules package, since pam_limits.so appears not to work on several : architectures now. : : Steve Langasek : postmodern programmer And indeed, commenting that line out results in an instantly working sshd.
