Title:
"sshd -i" breaks due to socket activation
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
On Jammy and earlier, simply running "sshd -i" worked.
Now, it fails silently, and running it with "-d" gives me:
Missing privilege separation directory: /run/sshd
This directory is normally created with "RuntimeDirectory=sshd" as
defined in /lib/systemd/system/ssh.service. In Jammy, this directory
got created by the ssh service starting at boot, so "sshd -i" worked.
Now, with socket activation, it no longer does that, so "sshd -i"
fails unless someone has actually connected on TCP port 22 (which they
often won't have, since that's the point of "sshd -i").
systemd will then remove /run/sshd when the ssh service is stopped. I
think maybe this won't interfere with an existing "sshd -i", but it's
not really clean. Further, the privilege separation directory doesn't
appear to be configurable - at least I couldn't find any mention in
sshd_config(5).
The workaround is to "mkdir -p /run/sshd && sshd -i" instead.
Given that "sshd -i"'s use of /run/sshd isn't really related to the
systemd service, maybe we should move the creation of that directory
into tmpfiles.d instead?
