The update added a new openssh-config package for the customizations we have to the configuration files. However, it also has a %post script command that disables sshd: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/619003/4/base/openssh-config/centos/openssh... %{_bindir}/systemctl disable sshd.service > /dev/null 2>&1 || : I don't know why that would be added, as we don't do that in the openssh package today. Maybe it was intended to be a restart to pick up the config changes, but it wouldn't strictly be needed for the install. The commit message says the following testing was done: Deployment test and ping test between VMs pass Config files check pass. so I'm surprised this issue wasn't seen during testing for this update.

The ssh daemon is not started by default on the controller. This issue is seen in multiple labs and is blocking automated sanity execution. This issue was not seen in a load built on 2018-11-22. Is anyone else testing in master and seeing this issue? Looking at the code submissions between 2018-11-22 & 2018-11-25, I see the following change: ./cgcs-root/stx/stx-integ 36dc17738d9e2ef5dab689a556d7d8f33415861e Fri Nov 23 22:09:59 2018 +0000 Gerrit Code Review Merge "Refactor patches for openssh package" ./cgcs-root/stx/stx-integ 1c8c71654ff6f20cf13bcceeb861d969fd5b53a8 Wed Nov 21 01:21:12 2018 +0000 zhipeng liu Refactor patches for openssh package I'm not sure if that's the root-cause, but it needs to be investigated.
