Hello everyone,


I just upgraded my VPS from 10.3 to 11, and the upgrade *mostly* worked =
as I had hoped, except that now sshd is not started automatically. Which =
is kind of annoying for a remote system. ;-)

When I login through the console and say (as root) =E2=80=9Eservice sshd =
start=E2=80=9C, I get the following output:
14:59|root@straylight:/var/log]# service sshd restart
Performing sanity check on sshd configuration.
Stopping sshd.
Performing sanity check on sshd configuration.

  swapuse              infinity kB
  kqueues              infinity
  umtxp                infinity

Afterwards, =E2=80=9Epgrep ssh=E2=80=9C does not show any processes.=20
There are no error messages in syslog, either.

When I run (again, as root) /usr/sbin/sshd manually, it works.

Did I mess something up during the upgrade inadvertently? Since I can =
still start sshd manually, I suspect the problem is not with sshd =
itself, but the way it is started by the init system.

If anyone could give me a hint on how to proceed, I would be very =
grateful.=20
Kind regards,
Benjamin=
