[Bug 590275] Re: ssh init script doesn't use the /etc/default/ssh file
This is not just a wishlist. The package as it is now breaks expected behaviour (the one you get after 15 years of using /etc/init.d style startup scripts) and is not properly documented in the obvious places (README.Debian, for example), with only a mention of this new behaviour buried in changelog.Debian.gz. Furthermore, and most importantly, the daemon behaves differently if you start it with old style init scripts, or with new style upstart commands: # cat /etc/default/ssh | grep -v '#' SSHD_OPTS='-p 11210' SSHD_OOM_ADJUST=-17 # service ssh start ssh start/running, process 23950 # lsof -n | grep LISTEN | grep ssh sshd 23950 root3u IPv4 24579273 0t0 TCP *:ssh (LISTEN) sshd 23950 root4u IPv6 24579275 0t0 TCP *:ssh (LISTEN) # service ssh stop ssh stop/waiting # /etc/init.d/ssh start * Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd [ OK ] # lsof -n | grep LISTEN | grep ssh sshd 23983 root3u IPv4 24589208 0t0 TCP *:11210 (LISTEN) sshd 23983 root4u IPv6 24589210 0t0 TCP *:11210 (LISTEN) This means that someone changing the configuration and restarting the daemon the old way will not find the daemon listening on the inteded port after a reboot. The old style startup script should be modified to output a message urging the user to change his habit to upstart commands. The /etc/default/ssh file should be modified to include a prominent warning that the file itself is deprecated and not used by upstart anymore. The package as it is now may cause a machine to become unreachable if an external firewall is configured to allow a certain non-standard port, while the daemon starts listening on 22 because /etc/default/ssh is not used anymore.

Pierfrancesco Caci, I'm agree with you but if the other services in Ubuntu still using the old style init scripts, why only ssh has changed to new style? and, more important, why it conserves the old init script? -- ssh init script doesn't use the /etc/default/ssh file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/590275 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 590275] Re: ssh init script doesn't use the /etc/default/ssh file
Colin, I did more tests and here's another issue: sshd is stopped, and the 2 config files have these contents: # grep -v '#' /etc/default/ssh SSHD_OPTS='-p 12345' SSHD_OOM_ADJUST=-17 # tail -1 /etc/init/ssh.conf exec /usr/sbin/sshd -p 11210 # service ssh start ssh start/running, process 30569 # ps ax | grep sshd 30569 ?Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd -p 11210 # /etc/init.d/ssh start * Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd [ OK ] # ps ax | grep sshd 30569 ?Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd -p 11210 so far, this is the expected behaviour. Now I stop again the daemon, and start it again, but this time with the old style init script first # /etc/init.d/ssh start * Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd [ OK ] # ps ax | grep sshd 31604 ?Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd -p 12345 # service ssh start ssh start/running, process 31614 # ps ax | grep sshd 31604 ?Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd -p 12345 31614 ?Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd -p 11210 Result: 2 daemons running, on different ports. Also, the init script is no longer able to stop the daemon it started: # service ssh stop ssh stop/waiting # ps ax | grep sshd 31604 ?Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd -p 12345 # /etc/init.d/ssh stop * Stopping OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd [ OK ] # ps ax | grep sshd 31604 ?Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd -p 12345 Pf -- ssh init script doesn't use the /etc/default/ssh file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/590275 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Wishlist!!? This a bug!! Why the openssh-server package installs the /etc/default/ssh file then? Moreover, in the /etc/default/ssh file doesn't explain nothing about this. I was used to modify the /etc/default/ssh file not the /etc/init/ssh.conf I lost many hours trying to start my ssh server in IPv4 mode because you have changed the default behavior!! :-( -- ssh init script doesn't use the /etc/default/ssh file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/590275 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
Re: [Bug 590275] Re: ssh init script doesn't use the /etc/default/ssh file
/etc/default/ssh (and, for that matter, /etc/init.d/ssh) is at this point only provided because Upstart can't yet manage jobs in chroots. When it can, I expect that these will be removed. -- ssh init script doesn't use the /etc/default/ssh file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/590275 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
