Public bug reported:
The 'sshd' process gets 'authentication failure' and refuses to allow
any login.
dmesg indicates that the problem is SIGSYS on a call to 'socket'
(syscall #41, signal #31).
On a hunch, I decided to test whether the problem is related to
'seccomp' and changed /etc/ssh/sshd_config from the default
# UsePrivilegeSeparation sandbox
to the former standard value
UsePrivilegeSeparation yes
and logins started to work again.
Obviously, I'd like to have the additional protection that sandboxing
would give me.
