Description William Brown 2023-02-24 04:05:36 UTC 
After installing a new tumbleweed minimal vm it is not possible to sftp from the machine. The ssh client states:

subsystem request failed on channel 0
scp: Connection closed

The server logs:

Feb 24 13:56:54 yas-78 sshd[2156]: subsystem request for sftp by user admin failed, subsystem not found

# cat /etc/*release
NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed"
# VERSION="20230222"

openssh-server-8.9p1-7.2.x86_64
openssh-8.9p1-7.2.x86_64


yas-78:/home/admin # less /usr/etc/ssh/sshd_config
# override default of no subsystems
Subsystem       sftp    /usr/libexec/ssh/sftp-server
Comment 1 William Brown 2023-02-24 04:07:57 UTC 
Okay, the issue appears to be that the content of /usr/etc/ssh/sshd_config is *not* being read, meaning that the configuration is missing by default.
