Hello,
I am unclear about why you are asking for the contents of my sshd_config
file, given that the problem I described here isn't the merge conflict,
but rather what happens in terms of the migration from ssh service to
socket when the user opts to install the vendor version of sshd_config
as a result of the merge conflict. You're not going to be able to
entirely avoid merge conflicts, so you need to come up with a better way
to handle this conversion, e.g., by migrating the address and port
settings from sshd_config to listen.conf in a preinst script that runs
before dpkg tries to install the new sshd_config.
In any case, I can't tell you exactly what was in my sshd_config before
the problem occurred because, as I indicated, I've upgraded my machine
to Kinetic and in the process replaced sshd_config. However, I believe
it looked approximately like this:
# This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file. See
# sshd_config(5) for more information.
# This sshd was compiled with
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
# OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where
# possible, but leave them commented. Uncommented options override the
# default value.

Title:
conversion from sshd service to socket is too bumpy
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
During upgrade from Jammy to Kinetic, I get asked what to do because
my sshd_config has been modified. I say to do a 3-way merge. It says
3-way merge fails. I shrug, figure I'll just restore my customizations
with Ansible after the upgrade like I always do, and tell it to use
the vendor version of the file. This removes my custom Port settings,
so they are not migrated over to the ssh.socket settings like
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/sshd-now-uses-socket-based-activation-
ubuntu-22-10-and-later/30189 says they would be. I subsequently run my
Ansible which restores the customizations and enables the ssh service,
but now ssh.service and ssh.socket are enabled at the same time, sshd
isn't listening on my specified ports, and everything is a mess. I've
never used socket-based activation before and have no idea how to
configure it so now I have to go reading man pages, Googling all over
the place, and generally struggle to figure out what the heck is going
wrong.
I don't know what the right answer is here, but I really feel like
some effort needs to be put into figuring out a smoother transition
for people who are upgrading to Kinetic.
