| vim /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/sshd.conf | |
| # remove the "/var" | |
| d /run/sshd 0755 root root | |
| systemd-tmpfiles --create | |
| now the dir will be created at boot and ssh will show up | |

| ------- | |
| So /run (and /var/run symlinked to it) gets recreated every reboot. Except that systemd-tmpfiles isn't doing that for some files including (/var)/run/sshd. | |
| Apparently, this is fixed by a OpenVZ kernel upgrade. But to actually fix it now you edit /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/sshd.conf and remove /var from the line d /var/run/sshd 0755 root root to read instead: | |
| d /run/sshd 0755 root root | |
| And that's it..! | |
| And when openssh-server gets upgraded, we hope that they will have fixed this bug (or is it really a bug in systemd? or openvz??) -- otherwise you could run into the same problem. |
