v9.4.0.0p1-Beta installation hangs #2161

user8446 · 2023-10-10T23:24:25Z

Hi,

Just reporting that the v9.4.0.0p1-Beta that was just released hangs on installation.

The issue is sshd.exe which fails to start.

Rolling back to v9.2.2.0p1-Beta or if I roll back just sshd.exe to v9.2.0 works as expected and sshd.exe starts.

Version

v9.4.0.0p1-Beta

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Same situation, happens through install on Winget too.
Fixing permissions does not solve this.

Windows 11 Pro 10.0.22621

I tried running manually the PowerShell script here (https://github.com/PowerShell/openssh-portable/blob/latestw_all/contrib/win32/openssh/install-sshd.ps1) and it fixed the situation somehow, even though I still have an error at the end of the install process.

Installer failed with exit code: 1603
Installer log is available at: C:\Users\<redacted>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\DiagOutputDir\WinGet-Microsoft.OpenSSH.Beta.9.4.0.0-2023-10-11-09-42-54.478.log

Here is the install log from Winget

I tried running manually the PowerShell script here (https://github.com/PowerShell/openssh-portable/blob/latestw_all/contrib/win32/openssh/install-sshd.ps1) and it fixed the situation somehow, even though I still have an error at the end of the install process.

Thanks for confirming that running the install script works, @Murazaki.

@user8446, can you confirm the $env:SystemDrive\ProgramData\ssh folder permissions match what's expected by sshd for startup?

Ok, thanks.

What's the error number when trying to start sshd?
Also, are able to start sshd in debug mode (sshd -ddd)?

Try running sshd -ddd from an elevated command prompt, I think it's unable to load the hostkeys so it can't start in debug mode.

Ok, that's what I'd expect to see.

Could you try running the install-sshd.ps1 (or just the part that verifies the files permissions on the $env:SystemDrive\ProgramData\ssh folder)?

I'd also try starting directly with net start sshd to see if it still hangs, or gives an error number. I'm not sure it's reaching the point of logging, but can you check if there's anything in $env:SystemDrive\ProgramData\ssh\logs\sshd.log?

user8446 · 2023-10-12T19:35:28Z

Ok I put install-sshd.ps1 in $env:SystemDrive\Program Files\OpenSSH and after running from there v9.4.0 does run. Although permission were correct on the $env:SystemDrive\ProgramData\ssh folder, the script denied all permissions on the logs as well - even read. Is this expected? I re-enabled read for the logs.

tgauth · 2023-10-12T20:30:01Z

It should permit read access for authenticated users - were those types of accounts removed?

user8446 · 2023-10-12T21:17:59Z

I ran the script again and it stripped permissions again. I just manually add read permissions back to have access to the logs. I haven't had time to look at the PS code in the script.

Also just adding that when sshd.exe wouldn't start it never got to the point of logging so there was nothing in sshd.log.

My sshd server is up and running as expected but happy to help test anything like re-running the MSI installer before closing?

Ok, I think this can be opened as a separate issue to fine tune the permissions of the install script.

Also just adding that when sshd.exe wouldn't start it never got to the point of logging so there was nothing in sshd.log.

Yeah, that's the expected behavior unfortunately. I didn't expect it to hang though - I'm not sure if that's due to using Start-Service vs net start sshd
With the latter, a system error 1067 has occurred is displayed.

Great! If you feel like retrying the MSI installer with the current folder permissions, that would confirm it installs as expected. If you don't want to mess with your current setup, that's fine, too - I think we're good to close.

user8446 · 2023-10-13T14:37:37Z

I just ran the installer and all is well, the permissions persisted. Thank you very much helping out @tgauth !

@Uj947nXmRqV2nRaWshKtHzTvckUUpD can you confirm that only the Administrators group and the SYSTEM account have owner/write permissions on the $env:SystemDrive\ProgramData\ssh folder?

Uj947nXmRqV2nRaWshKtHzTvckUUpD · 2023-11-02T15:56:43Z

i must mention that in the past i used this commands as admin:
icacls.exe "C:\ProgramData\ssh\administrators_authorized_keys" /inheritance:r /grant "Administrators:F" /grant "SYSTEM:F"

and later:
cd 'C:\Program Files\OpenSSH'
.\FixHostFilePermissions.ps1
.\FixUserFilePermissions.ps1

Thanks for confirming - I just deleted the comment so the previous edits of the screenshot aren't accessible.

Does running install-sshd.ps1 ask to remove permissions on any other files within $env:SystemDrive\ProgramData\ssh?

could you please give me some more detailed instructions to do so ? where do i get that script and how do i run it?

tgauth · 2023-11-02T18:44:02Z

The script can be downloaded with a .zip release - https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/releases/download/v9.4.0.0p1-Beta/OpenSSH-Win64.zip or from https://github.com/PowerShell/openssh-portable/blob/latestw_all/contrib/win32/openssh/install-sshd.ps1.

Put the script in the same directory as the SSHD install - $env:ProgramFiles\OpenSSH\

Invoke the script from PowerShell - .\install-sshd.ps1

after running the script as admin i was able to update openssh via winget. thank you !

shouldn't this fix be added during install/update time?

agreed - any chance you can pinpoint what permissions were changed by the script that ultimately permitted SSHD to start?

I replaced with <USER> in the install log. looks like moduli and logs folders

I still had the same error on v9.5.0.0p1-Beta, and I can confirm that running install-sshd.ps1 solved the issue. Hopefully, the fix can be added to the installer.
