It's a standard SSH config, without manual config changes. root@debian13:~# grep -i listen /etc/ssh/sshd_config #ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 #ListenAddress :: root@debian13:~# systemctl reload ssh Job for ssh.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status ssh.service" and "journalctl -xeu ssh.service" for details. To give more context: This is a LXC container running Debian 13 on a Debian 12 host. Maybe this is an important information needed in this context. I just tried to reproduce the same reload error on another LXC container which was upgraded from Debian 12 to 13 (Host running Debian 12) but here I did not get any errors. I have to dig deeper into this to find the differences.
