Package: openssh-server Version: 1:10.0p1-7 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
This problem is experienced on Debian 13 (Trixie). When trying to reload the Systemd controlled "ssh" service (using systemctl reload ssh), the reload runs into an error: root@debian13:~# systemctl reload ssh Job for ssh.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status ssh.service" and "journalctl -xeu ssh.service" for details. The logs show: Feb 18 10:47:45 debian13 systemd[1]: Reloading ssh.service - OpenBSD Secure Shell server... Feb 18 10:47:45 debian13 sshd[163]: Received SIGHUP; restarting. Feb 18 10:47:45 debian13 sshd[163]: fatal: Cannot bind any address. Feb 18 10:47:45 debian13 systemd[1]: ssh.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=255/EXCEPTION Feb 18 10:47:45 debian13 systemd[1]: ssh.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Feb 18 10:47:45 debian13 systemd[1]: Reload failed for ssh.service - OpenBSD Secure Shell server. The Systemd service unit (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ssh.service) shows the following ExecReload parameters: ExecReload=/usr/sbin/sshd -t ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID Running this command manually, results int he same problem: root@debian13:~# kill -HUP $(pgrep -x sshd) Feb 18 11:27:44 debian13 sshd[195958]: Received SIGHUP; restarting. Feb 18 11:27:44 debian13 sshd[195958]: fatal: Cannot bind any address. Feb 18 11:27:44 debian13 systemd[1]: ssh.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=255/EXCEPTION Feb 18 11:27:44 debian13 systemd[1]: ssh.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. I stumbled into this when an Ansible task, which attempts to reload the "ssh" service after config changes, ran into an error. The service reload works on Debian 12 (bookworm). -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-40-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages openssh-server depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.91 ii init-system-helpers 1.69~deb13u1 ii libaudit1 1:4.0.2-2+b2 ii libc6 2.41-12+deb13u1 ii libcom-err2 1.47.2-3+b7 ii libcrypt1 1:4.4.38-1 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.21.3-5 ii libkrb5-3 1.21.3-5 ii libpam-modules 1.7.0-5 ii libpam-runtime 1.7.0-5 ii libpam0g 1.7.0-5 ii libselinux1 3.8.1-1 ii libssl3t64 3.5.4-1~deb13u2 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-36 ii libwtmpdb0 0.73.0-3+deb13u1 ii openssh-client 1:10.0p1-7 ii openssh-sftp-server 1:10.0p1-7 ii procps 2:4.0.4-9 ii runit-helper 2.16.4 ii systemd [systemd-sysusers] 257.9-1~deb13u1 ii sysvinit-utils [lsb-base] 3.14-4 ii ucf 3.0052 ii zlib1g 1:1.3.dfsg+really1.3.1-1+b1 Versions of packages openssh-server recommends: ii libpam-systemd [logind] 257.9-1~deb13u1 pn ncurses-term <none> ii xauth 1:1.1.2-1.1 Versions of packages openssh-server suggests: pn molly-guard <none> pn monkeysphere <none> pn ssh-askpass <none> pn ufw <none> -- debconf information excluded
