2022-06-29 11:31:06 Thomas Bechtold description This cloud image: build_name: server serial: 20220411.2 ...ships with a "user-modified" /etc/ssh/sshd_config. This results in a confusing ucf prompt when upgrading from Focal to Jammy. It looks like this is being done here: https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/tree/live-build/ubuntu-cpc/hooks.d/chroot/052-ssh_authentication.chroot User impact: this messes up automation; it is a common use of cloud images for users to automate their server deployments which generally involves running a dist-upgrade and then bootstrapping some kind of configuration management system. As well as during an upgrade between releases, this will happen if openssh-server needs to change its /etc/ssh/sshd_config in an SRU or security update. Even users who have not touched /etc/ssh/sshd_config will be told that they have and the default is to keep the user "modified" version, so the change will not be applied. Workaround: users can use something like: apt-get update && UCF_FORCE_CONFOLD=1 apt-get -y dist-upgrade. Note that to avoid prompts in various other cases users should also set DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive, run apt-get with -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold" and consider redirecting stdin from /dev/null. Background: This has happened multiple times before. Please put CI in place to avoid this regressing again. See bug 1485685, bug 1581044, bug 1581046, bug 1323772, bug 1747464.

This needs to be backported to >= Focal so upgrades from Focal to Jammy do not result in the ucf prompt. [Test Plan] 1) build image (eg. with ubuntu-old-fashioned) with the changes from here 2) check that there is no modification for /etc/ssh/sshd_config via: $ ucfq openssh-server 3) check that the new configuration file under /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/10-cloudimg-settings.conf is there and contains the correct setting [Where problems could occur] Password authentication could be enabled after that change because sshd does not read the new configuration for whatever reason. This can be checked with "sudo sshd -T|grep passwordauthentication"
