I don't think the portable OpenSSH source has any systemd integration, so that is what you should expect. --8<-- systemd.service(5) OPTIONS .. Type= .. Behavior of notify is similar to simple; however, it is expected that the daemon sends a notification message via sd_notify(3) or an equivalent call when it has finished starting up. -->8-- I guess that Oracle has patched sshd to call sd_notify() and thus introduced dependency on the systemd libraries for sshd. I don't think that's a good idea at all. To run upstream OpenSSH-portable set Type=simple and be done with it. //Peter _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
