This morning I applied the 13 or so new updates to my servers. On one of them the ssh service and clients stopped working immediately after the update.

The error I am getting when attempting to start the sshd service is this:

Starting sshd: Auto configuration failed 6486:error:0E065068:configuration file routines:STR_COPY:variable has no value:conf_def.c:629:line 207 [FAILED]

I replaced the sshd_config on the affected server with a copy of that which came with the package and the same error occurs. Whatever is causing this, it does not seem to be related the the sshd_config file.
