Seeing the very same thing here on a server install. I consider severity quite high because I was trying to secure a new server installation with "PasswordAuthentication no". Only by accident I found that the sshd did not accept the new configuration and was still wide open with password authentication.
This is pretty bad. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1390012 Title: "/etc/init.d/ssh stop" does not stop ssh server processes on 14.04 Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Running "/etc/init.d/ssh stop" does not result in ssh server being stopped. Running "service ssh stop" works fine. As a result, running "/etc/init.d/ssh restart" does not restart sshd so new settings from sshd_config won't be loaded. Using "service ssh restart" works fine, but ideally using the init script should still work as long as it's still there.
