Public bug reported: openssh-server does provide a couple of configuration options:
[~]$ sudo debconf-get-selections |grep openssh-server openssh-server openssh-server/listenstream-may-fail error openssh-server openssh-server/password-authentication boolean true openssh-server openssh-server/permit-root-login boolean true I want to change those options now interactively but nothing I tried worked and showed a dialog: [~]$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -p low openssh-server Warning: Stopping ssh.service, but it can still be activated by: ssh.socket rescue-ssh.target is a disabled or a static unit not running, not starting it. [~]$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -p low --force --frontend dialog openssh-server Warning: Stopping ssh.service, but it can still be activated by: ssh.socket rescue-ssh.target is a disabled or a static unit not running, not starting it. But the documentation (https://manpages.debian.org/testing/debconf- doc/debconf.7.en.html#Reconfiguring_packages) does state that those commands should ask those questions again. p.s. also tried with a lxc debian-sid container and had the same problem there.
