systemctl failed to restart ssh

Ask Ubuntu Asked by AbstProcDo on December 8, 2021

I tried to restart the ssh as

$ systemctl restart ssh
Job for ssh.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status ssh.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Read the journal but does not provide any solution. I have to reboot the computer.

What’s the problem?

One Answer

The error message says that:

/etc/ssh/sshd_config: line 107: Bad configuration option: ForwardX11Trusted

Please, edit your sshd_config file and remove or comment line 107.

I think there is no option called ForwardX11Trusted for sshd_config. Is it for ssh_config?

Please, look at:

man sshd_config | grep X11
man ssh_config | grep X11
