[BUG] Connection refused in 9.7_p1-r4-ls176

[shizunge]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

In 9.7_p1-r4-ls176, I get a connection refused error. Rolling back to ls175 worked.

I saw the following errors in ls176 log. I don't see such errors with ls175. I think it could be related.

2024-11-26 23:48:36.467	
chmod: cannot access '/config/sshd/sshd_config/ssh_host_*_key.pub': Not a directory
2024-11-26 23:48:36.456	
chmod: cannot access '/config/sshd/sshd_config/ssh_host_*_key': Not a directory

My setup (via docker):

    environment:
      - PUID=${PUID}
      - PGID=${PGID}
      - PUBLIC_KEY_FILE=/authorized_keys
      - SUDO_ACCESS=false #optional
      - PASSWORD_ACCESS=false #optional
      - USER_NAME=${USER_NAME} #optional

I provided /authorized_key via docker secrets and set the mode to 0600.

Expected Behavior

Connection accepted as ls175

Steps To Reproduce

Start ssh-server and try to connect it using a ssh-key.

Environment

- OS: Ubuntu 24
- Docker 27.3.1

CPU architecture

x86-64

Thanks for opening your first issue here! Be sure to follow the relevant issue templates, or risk having this issue marked as invalid.

The chmod errors are due to a typo, I've pushed a fix to master. Once it's built (probably 9.7_p1-r4-ls177) can you update and retest. If you still have issues can you also provide your logfile from /config/log/openssh/current.

[shizunge]

Seems working with newer release.

Do we have regression coverage on this?
