Title: PasswordAuthenticaion in sshd_config.d Status in portable OpenSSH: Unknown Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in openssh source package in Focal: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] When using the "Match" phrase in sshd_config.d files, the configuration does not apply. This leads to failures in user-specific configurations such as with PasswordAuthentication. The fix for this issue should be added to Focal to allow users to use Match as expected. The bug is fixed by backporting an upstream commit that includes custom config files then runs all matches provided. It updates the function for reading in config files with checks for matches, and, if the correct flags are marked, the match will then be handled accordingly. [Test Plan] $ lxc launch images:ubuntu/focal test-ssh-focal $ lxc exec test-ssh-focal bash # apt update && apt upgrade -y # apt install openssh-server # adduser user > ssh into container from another terminal to show pw auth is available by default. You can get the ip through 'ip addr' in the container or 'lxc list' outside. $ ssh user@<container-ip> user@<container-ip>'s password: # cat <<EOF >/etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/user.conf Match User user PasswordAuthentication No Match All EOF # systemctl restart sshd > Check again in other terminal $ ssh user@<container-ip> > Before the fix, it will show: user@<container-ip>'s password: > After, it will show user@<container-ip>: Permission denied (publickey). [Where problems could occur] If problems were to occur, they would be in the interpretation of configuration files. All changes from this fix exist in servconf.c. The largest part of this change is a move from the inc_flags variable being an integer to an integer pointer, so problems could show up through changes to the flags in the pass by reference. Going over the change to pointer usage visually, all instances within the process_server_config_line_depth function are modified properly, along with the two calls to the function. [Other Info] This issue has already been fixed in Jammy and later, as it was fixed in upstream version 8.4. To use the PPA containing this fix, you can run: $ sudo apt install -y software-properties-common $ sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:lvoytek/openssh-fix-passwordauthentication-config $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt upgrade -y $ sudo systemctl restart sshd [Original Description] The stanza Match User <username> PasswordAuthentication no in /etc/ssh/sshd_config works as expected. The same stanza in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/username.conf does not work. The Include in /etc/ssh/sshd_config is not commented out, and /usr/sbin/sshd -D -ddd shows the username.config file being parsed.
