Comment 3 for bug 1818679

Hi Johan,

This looks like this is somewhat related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/45234

Are you using the standard init script and configuration for sshd? try running the following to make sure your configuration is correct:

sshd -t

Once that's done, you can manually create the directory it needs:

sudo mkdir /var/run/sshd

I'm marking as invalid because this looks like a configuration problem. If it's not a configuration issue, please change the status back to "new".
