[Bug 1390012] Re: "/etc/init.d/ssh stop" does not stop ssh server processes on 14.04

[Torsten Curdt]

Seeing the very same thing here on a server install.

I consider severity quite high because I was trying to secure a new server installation with "PasswordAuthentication no".
 Only by accident I found that the sshd did not accept the new configuration and was still wide open with password authentication.

This is pretty bad.

Title:
  "/etc/init.d/ssh stop" does not stop ssh server processes on 14.04

Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Running "/etc/init.d/ssh stop" does not result in ssh server being
  stopped. Running "service ssh stop" works fine.

  As a result, running "/etc/init.d/ssh restart" does not restart sshd
  so new settings from sshd_config won't be loaded.

  Using "service ssh restart" works fine, but ideally using the init
  script should still work as long as it's still there.
