Thank you for taking the time to file this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
> ...the problem is getting Ubuntu and OpenSSH to admit there is a problem and it needs to be fixed. It's up to individual projects to decide what configurations they want to support. Just because you can't configure your system to your exact specification doesn't necessarily mean that it's a problem for the project. I understand what you're requesting, but I don't think Ubuntu will be prepared to maintain a patch in sshd to make the privilege separation directory configurable, assuming that upstream don't wish to do this either. It may that there's something I'm missing and the problem can be fixed in Ubuntu, but you haven't relayed the message from upstream so I am unable to comment on that. If you'd like to expand on why exactly they think "it is a Ubuntu problem", then I can look again. As I don't think Ubuntu will maintain the type of patch you suggest, I'm marking this bug as Won't Fix against the Ubuntu openssh package. You might be able to use mount namespaces to give your different sshd processes different views of /run/sshd. However, please note that you can simply comment if you have further information that you think would change this opinion, and change the status back to New yourself to request reconsideration. No need to file a new bug. ** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1832110 Title: Resource Sharing with multiple sshd services To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1832110/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
