Hi all, I have a strange situation. I have a machine connected to an AT&T VPN. Sometimes the VPN gets disconnected, so I create a cronjob to restart the VPN client when it happens: Problem is: sshd seem doesn't want to bind to tun0. I restart ssh, network, no good. Anyone has any clue? So strange. Thank you.

Are you specifying the ListenAddress in /etc/sshd/sshd_config? The default is to bind using a wild card which should pick up any interface. What does your output from "netstat -l" look like? On my vpn server, the listen for ssh looks like this:
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN

Hi Nataraj, sshd is not specified to listen on certain address, I assume it means it listen to all address and inteface, right? I have this from netstat -patune: tcp 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 0
Well, AT FIRST, sshd listens on tun0. It is AFTER tun0 is RESTARTED that sshd refuses to bind to tun0.

That listen looks like IPV6. Is that what your using?

Oh, you mean it should be like this: 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* I don't have that... hmm.. ok I now add: ListenAddress 0.0.0.0, and now I have that in netstat. Let's see what happens. Thank you Nataraj
