Title:
  ssh connection attempts fail if hw crypto support on s390x is enabled
  on 17.04

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  New
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  short:
  after investigations the following commits are needed by openssh-server 
version 7.4p1 that is part of 17.04:
  - 5f1596e11d55539678c41f68aed358628d33d86f
  - 9e96b41682aed793fadbea5ccd472f862179fb02
  on master branch in https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable
  that belong to openssh 7.5 release notes statement: "sshd(8): Avoid sandbox 
errors for Linux S390 systems using an ICA crypto coprocessor."
  __________

  long:

  enable z hw crypto support for openssh on an Ubuntu host (zlin42) on s390x 
like this:
  sudo apt-get install openssh-ibmca libica-utils libica2
  sudo tee -a /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf < 
/usr/share/doc/openssl-ibmca/examples/openssl.cnf.sample
  sudo sed -i 's/^\(openssl_conf = openssl_def.*$\)/# \1/g' /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf
  sudo sed -i '10i openssl_cnf = openssl_def' /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf

  afterwards ssh login attempts fail:
  $ ssh ubuntu@zlin42
  ubuntu@zlin42's password: 
  Connection to zlin42 closed by remote host.
  Connection to zlin42 closed.

  the normal logs don't provide any interesting details:

  compared to a system with hw cryto disabled (means ssh working):

  Workaround:
  in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
  change:
  #UsePrivilegeSeparation sandbox
  to:
  UsePrivilegeSeparation yes

  So it's an issue with the sandbox / seccomp
  that got fixed in openssh 7.5
