Fresh Install sshd problem

[Zoltán Palkó]

Hello

 

I newly installed a community armbian image to my Alfawise H96 ProPlus TV box.

All seems to be working except sshd.

I found out, that is because of not existing /run/sshd directory.

After creating this directory the systemctl start ssh wokrs, but until the next reboot.

The image I used is Armbian_23.8.0-trunk.51_Aml-s9xx-box_lunar_edge_6.2.16.img.

 

Thanks

I found out, that sshd does not start, because the systemd does not creates the tmp directory for it. It is missing despite that the /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/openssh-server.conf exists and contains the necessery config for the /run/sshd directory.

 

Maybe this information says something to somebody.

I got the final solution!

The root filesystem of the downloaded image has the / ownership of user id 1023. Changing it to root, the problem solved!
