You're going round in circles. Let's take a step back. Please assume that Ubuntu does not want to make any change right now because no change is currently considered justified.
An open question here is if Ubuntu's patches on upstream are creating any problem that you're reporting. That's why I'm asking. If they are, then please explain how and why. If they are not, then I see no reason to make any change. There's no point discussing this any further unless you can demonstrate how Ubuntu is introducing any kind of problem that is unique to the packaging and not upstream. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1832110 Title: Resource Sharing with multiple sshd services Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Ubuntu: 18.04.2 LTS OpenSSH: 7.6p1 I am having a problem starting multiple sshd processes. The default location of the sshd privilege separation directory is hard-coded to /run/sshd (see man page). If I want to have 2 sshd services using systemd, I need to write 2 service files, let's call them sshd_wan.service ans sshd_lan.service. Both of these services need to have their own "RuntimeDirectory=sshd_wan" and "RuntimeDirectory=sshd_lan". If you do not have separate RuntimeDirectory definitions for the 2 services, then when one service is killed/faults/restarts/stops/etc. the systemd (or init) process deletes the RuntimeDirectory and causes the other service to crash since a RuntimeDirectory does not exist. The problem is the hard-coding of the sshd Privilege Separation Directory. We need to modify the OpenBSD/OpenSSH sshd code to provision command line assignment of the privilege separation directory. I have attempted to contact the OpenSSH team (i.e. OpenSSH.com) and they say it is a Ubuntu problem. I reported this in Ubuntu bug #1831765 and Ubuntu (e.g. Paride Legovini, June 6, 2019 @ 2:55AM PDT) rejected it because I described the problem using the init.d example. I know how to modify the sshd.c file in OpenSSH 7.6p1, the problem is getting Ubuntu and OpenSSH to admit there is a problem and it needs to be fixed. The problem is still there regardless if you are using Upstart (i.e. init.d) or systemd.
