[Bug 719833] Re: ssh upstart job fails to actually bring up ssh

[zwigno]

I'm getting something that sounds a lot like this bug in 12.04 LTS Server - I have a dual interface home server with 2 nics.  ssh, xinetd, and isc-dhcp-server all fail to work correctly on boot and need to be restarted.  All 3 also have custom configurations for binding to one nic or the other.
eth0 is internal.  eth2 is public.  

ssh - different Listenaddresses/ports based on IP(nic)
dhcp - bound to internal interface only
xinetd - tftpd is bound to internal interface only

Other daemons that don't have a interface-specific config seem to work
fine (postfix, apache) or maybe they just don't care.

If it helps troubleshooting - I originally had an eth1 instead of eth2
but I swapped it out for a different model (3c905 for a intel e100) and
it registered as eth2.  eth0 has stayed the same (RTL8168e).

I tried setting ssh to run on "started network-manager" but that didn't
seem to work.  I'll try what Seeger suggests above and do the "net-
device-up IFACE=eth2" to see if that helps.

Title:
  ssh upstart job fails to actually bring up ssh

Status in “openssh” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  When I reboot my router, ssh does not start.

  Feb 15 22:51:32 router init: ssh main process (897) terminated with status 255
  Feb 15 22:51:32 router init: ssh main process ended, respawning
  Feb 15 22:51:32 router init: ssh main process (915) terminated with status 255
  Feb 15 22:51:32 router init: ssh respawning too fast, stopped

  I do not bind to 0.0.0.0, so I must have networking up fully before
  ssh can start.  Because "filesystem" happens before "networking" has
  started, the job fails. We might want to consider changing the upstart
  job to:

  start on filesystem and started networking
