Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.6.1p2-11
Severity: minor
This problem happens only when ssh is installed for the first time.
The user is asked, during preconfiguration, about running the sshd
server. If the answer the user gives is no, it is ignored: when the
configure script is called by postinst, it will always set `run_sshd'
to true, since /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_run will not exist (yet).
I'm inserting below the "guilty" code. It looks like it is acknowledged
in these comments (so the bug has low priority), but I think that at
least the user should be warned about this.
ssh.config (snippet)
56 # To be correct during initial installation, this relies on the desired
57 # default for run_sshd being "true".
58 if [ -e /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run ]
59 then
60 db_set ssh/run_sshd false
61 else
62 db_set ssh/run_sshd true
63 fi
64 db_input medium ssh/run_sshd || true
Best regards,
Danilo
