Bug#923508: systemd not restarting sshd on Debian 9 Stretch i386 due to RestartPreventExitStatus=255 in sshd.service file

[Andrew Roberts]

Michael,

as to what the bug report is about I guess there are three issues:

1) At some point the

/etc/systemd/system/sshd.service

file has been updated to include RestartPreventExitStatus=255

which has a negative effect stopping sshd restarting in order to work with a slow to start network connection.
This does not seem to be a sensible default option. I don't know if this comes under sshd or systemd.

2) The override.conf mechanism does not seem to be working. Which is a definite systemd issue

3) systemd seems to be complaining about the need to reload units using daemon-reload even when you have just done daemon-reload

These seem to have come in with the last point release, and as of yesterday, the latest updates on top of that had not addressed
these issues.

Andrew
