Bug ID: 2374
Summary: please make single(!) addresses that cannot be bound
to not failing sshd startup
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 6.7p1
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: sshd
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Hi.
Maybe it's just me, but it happens every now and then that I lock out
myself of a system because of wrong ListenAddress lines, i.e. addresses
sshd cannot bind to.
It would be nice if sshd would ignore these errors, but for security
reasons of course *only* if it can bind to at least one of the named
addresses (or if it would instead NOT simply bind to the wildcard
address).
At least right now I don't see any security implications of this
behavioural change.
Cheers,
Chris.
