Latest Oracle Linux (7.5) and openssh 7.4 is bundled as an rpm. this runs fine. if I download openssh 7.6 or 7.7, compile it with the flags --with-pam and --with-pid-dir=/var/run and install it to /usr/local, modify the sshd.service file to point to /usr/local/sbin/sshd, the start hangs. The sshd.service files looks like this: [Unit] Description=OpenSSH server daemon Documentation=man:sshd(8) man:sshd_config(5) After=network.target sshd-keygen.service Wants=sshd-keygen.service [Service] Type=notify PIDFile=/var/run/sshd.pid EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/sshd ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/sshd $OPTIONS ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID KillMode=process Restart=on-failure RestartSec=42s [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target OPTIONS get's picked up from /etc/sysconfig/sshd and has "-D -4" as the options. systemctl start sshd hangs and it seems like openssh isn't notifying systemd that it's started. For awhile, it seemed like sshd wasn't writing it's pid file but it seems like having changed the flags to --with-pid-dir has it writing it's pid file. The funny thing is that sshd *does* get started but systemd never recognizes it so ends up killing it and restarting it over and over and over. running the sshd under strace from the command line of course works fine, sshd starts, you can login, etc., so it's some interaction with systemd that I need to get figured out. Let me know what more I can add to this that would help please. --- Regards, Kevin Martin _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
