Public bug reported:

The 'sshd' process gets 'authentication failure' and refuses to allow
any login.

dmesg indicates that the problem is SIGSYS on a call to 'socket'
(syscall #41, signal #31).

On a hunch, I decided to test whether the problem is related to
'seccomp' and changed /etc/ssh/sshd_config from the default

# UsePrivilegeSeparation sandbox

to the former standard value

UsePrivilegeSeparation yes

and logins started to work again.

Obviously, I'd like to have the additional protection that sandboxing
would give me.
