When starting a new session with "End existing session" enabled on SLE 16, you get these messages in /var/log/vsmagent.log: > 2025-06-11 12:44:13 INFO vsmagent.session: Verified connectivity to newly started Xvnc for cendio > 2025-06-11 12:44:13 INFO vsmagent: Unable to open /etc/ssh/sshd_config for reading: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/ssh/sshd_config' The sshd_config file is located at /usr/etc/ssh/sshd_config on SLE 16. The warning disappears if you copy it to /etc/ssh/: > sudo cp /usr/etc/ssh/sshd_config /etc/ssh/
This reminds me of the usrmerge problem we had with Ubuntu 24.04, see bug 8335, and it might be worth considering whether we need to do something similar here. If this results in a platform-specific note, it certainly feels like we should recommend creating a symlink instead of copying sshd_config so we know we're reading the same file regardless of where it's located.
A platform specific note was added for this: https://www.cendio.com/thinlinc/docs/platforms/suse/

The difference in this case is that things in /usr/etc shouldn't be modified. A symlink will give the wrong impression. See the following description from the opensuse wiki: > In the longterm, /etc will only contain configuration files that are host- > specific or have been modified by the admin. All distribution specific > configuration files are located below /usr/etc and are not modifiable by the > admin (with a read-only root filesystem, this would not even be possible). https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_UsrEtc#openssh
