Bug 268200

Summary:	Upgrade from 12.3-RELESE to 12.4-RELEASE breaks remote ssh until next reboot
Product:	Base System	Reporter:	hk

Description hk 2022-12-06 15:31:23 UTC

I have a vanilla FreeBSD 12.3-RELEASE-p6 (amd64) system. Upgraded to 12.4-RELEASE as follows:

remote login via ssh
  freebsd-update upgrade -r 12.4-RELEASE
  freebsd-update install
  reboot
remote login via ssh
  freebsd-update install

now (after second install-run) remote login vi ssh is no longer possible

Current solution:
  whilst still logged on, reboot again

remote login via ssh is then possible again (at least when I tested this)

Originally tested with FreeBSD 12.3-RELEASE-p6 on VMWare Fusion (on MacBook Pro with macOS Monterey 12.4), retested with a vanilla FreeBSD12.3-RELEASE install (installed from ISO-Image FreeBSD-12.3-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso), same problem.

This might bite all people who have remote systems without (remote) console access.

Best regards
Holger

(not sure if this is similar to bug #41202)
