Public bug reported: openssh-server's init script passes the --pidfile argument to start- stop-daemon when starting sshd, but this appears to be irrelevant.
On an Intrepid machine I changed the argument to a non-default value and still the default /var/run/sshd.pid was created. This appears to be because sshd creates the file itself (controlled by the PidFile config option which defaults to to /var/run/sshd.pid). I suggest removing this from at least the "start" stanza as it gives the impression that it will be honoured when it will not. ** Affects: openssh (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- openssh-server init script contains irrelevant --pidfile argument to start-stop-daemon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277120 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
