[SOLVED] sshfs issue with -current

zuriel · 06-01-2020, 02:26 AM

An sshfs mount wasn't working after updating my server yesterday and didn't produce a useful error.

Did some digging, and it looks like sshd is looking for sftp-server in the wrong path.

With LogLevel DEBUG on the server, I get this in the server log:

Code:

debug1: subsystem: cannot stat /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server: No such file or directory

I created /usr/lib/ssh/ and put a symlink in there to /usr/libexec/sftp-server and sshfs mounted normally.

Is this an issue with openssh-8.3p1 or did I break something?

I can confirm that sshfs is working fine here with the new openssh.

the location of the daemon taking care of the sftp subsystem is defined at the bottom of /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the server with this line

Code:

Subsystem       sftp    /usr/libexec/sftp-server

maybe have a look at your /etc/ssh/sshd_config?

Aha! I did break something.

I couldn't find where it was getting the path. Sure enough, I'd changed my sshd_config and it was wrong.

I probably changed it a week ago and just now restarted sshd.
