   Severity: important   
      
   Dear Maintainer,   
      
   This problem is experienced on Debian 13 (Trixie).   
      
   When trying to reload the Systemd controlled "ssh" service (using   
   systemctl reload ssh), the reload runs into an error:   
      
   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.   
      
   The logs show:   
      
   Feb 18 10:47:45 debian13 systemd[1]: Reloading ssh.service - OpenBSD Secure   
   Shell server...   
   Feb 18 10:47:45 debian13 sshd[163]: Received SIGHUP; restarting.   
   Feb 18 10:47:45 debian13 sshd[163]: fatal: Cannot bind any address.   
   Feb 18 10:47:45 debian13 systemd[1]: ssh.service: Main process exited,   
   code=exited, status=255/EXCEPTION   
   Feb 18 10:47:45 debian13 systemd[1]: ssh.service: Failed with result   
   'exit-code'.   
   Feb 18 10:47:45 debian13 systemd[1]: Reload failed for ssh.service - OpenBSD   
   Secure Shell server.   
      
   The Systemd service unit (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ssh.service) shows the   
   following ExecReload parameters:   
      
   ExecReload=/usr/sbin/sshd -t   
   ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID   
      
   Running this command manually, results int he same problem:   
      
   root@debian13:~# kill -HUP $(pgrep -x sshd)   
      
   Feb 18 11:27:44 debian13 sshd[195958]: Received SIGHUP; restarting.   
   Feb 18 11:27:44 debian13 sshd[195958]: fatal: Cannot bind any address.   
   Feb 18 11:27:44 debian13 systemd[1]: ssh.service: Main process exited,   
   code=exited, status=255/EXCEPTION   
   Feb 18 11:27:44 debian13 systemd[1]: ssh.service: Failed with result   
   'exit-code'.   
      
   I stumbled into this when an Ansible task, which attempts to reload   
   the "ssh" service after config changes, ran into an error.   
      
   The service reload works on Debian 12 (bookworm).
