Description Mitch Frazier 2020-10-08 02:42:34 UTC 
The initial sshd_config file contains the following configuration option:

  Subsystem  sftp  /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

The correct path is:

  Subsystem  sftp  /usr/libexec/ssh/sftp-server

You should have a file "/etc/ssh/sshd_config.rpmnew" which contains the change.  It is there as a ".rpmnew" file so that you will merge this change into your local configuration.

It's a good idea with Tumbleweed to run

 rpmconfigcheck

from time to time.  That should report such configuration changes, so that you can take care of them.

Shortly after filing the bug that idea occured to me.  Although, I just checked it now and I don't see that change.  If there are multiple changes across multiple upgrades should I see multiple rpmnew* files?  Or could I end up missing changes?
Comment 3 Mitch Frazier 2020-10-08 14:48:59 UTC 
Ignore that.  Did a diff with the fixed file so it's in there.
