I wanted to post commend earlier about this but had no time to write down everything I wanted, so sorry to react on your post so late.

Anyhow the issue for you is caused by change in Beta2 in the way how sshd is started. It is not started as regular daemon anymore, but it is spawned from inetd daemon. This is directly related to changing the listening port for you and most probably indirectly related to the chroot environment - I tried to find some insights about this combination (inetd & chrooted sshd setup) - but I wasn't successful.

the solution would be to disable ssh in xbian-config (or manually by editing /etc/inetd.conf if you prefer) and use standard way of starting sshd by sysv or upstart script again.

I included this standalone startup script in 1.0.2-11a version of xbian-update package which is available at devel repo (http://xbian.brantje.com/pool/devel/main/x/xbian-update/xbian-update_1.0.2-11a_armhf.deb). the ssh is started as daemon with upstart script /etc/init/ssh-nid.conf and is disabled by default. you can enable it by removing "manual" stanza from /etc/init/ssh-nid.override.

of course you can run both in parallel, just change ssh port found in /etc/inetd.conf configuration. sshd started from ssh-nid script will read port from /etc/ssh/sshd_config as you are used to.

Now I am late. Thank you very much for looking into my issue anyway. I mean, I am a single user with a single problem that I created all alone by myself.

With your help I managed to get everything back up and running, plus I once again learned a lot about my system.

[Old post: In case you remember anything from this case I would be happy to get some more explanations. I tried to follow your advice, but I am unable to get the server running in the way I am used to. Since the source you provided is 404, did the script you mentioned go into the standard packages in the meantime?

I'd be so happy If you could provide a a little more detailed howto change from inetd to upstart with this ssh-nid because googeling this brings me straight to this thread.]

Best regards, and thank you once again for your calm support and patience.
