Thanks for your help... so openssh-server is the culprit?

I think so, i just do what i suggest and ssh/sftp works again

So basically, you witnessed the issue once, you don't have any way to reproduce it, but you consider it a software bug and you want me to fix it without any better idea of the root cause ?

Well in my defence i just have one PC with Mageia and i am very limited of disk space, so i can't make other Mageia 5 install to upgrade to 6.

So, yes, was one time, the time i migrate from Mageia 5 to 6 RC, after that i try to connect from a windows PC to my linux PC (with WinSCP also) and fail.

I found the ssh server don't start, i try to start manually and don't works.

The only think that works was my suggestion on comment #1

I you can't solve this, then a errata is a good idea.

By the way the report say he can connect with putty (ssh), i can't provide more info because i cleaned the journalctl logs

@PETIT Henri, please provide the output of run this as root:

service sshd status

I remember some complain but not exactly about what

Guy, you're the only one to have reported the issue sofar, and you're not even able to reproduce it. Until proven otherwise, that's likely to be a transient issue.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => INVALID

Good evening
Problem resolved after uninstalling and reinstalling openssh-server.
It is necessary to be dressed before relaunching the sshd service to deliver:
PermitRootLogin yes
To be able to connect via WinSCP under root
Thanks again to all

in French :
Bonsoir
Problème résolu après avoir désinstallé et réinstalé openssh-server.
Il faut justre panser avant de relancer le service sshd à remettre :
PermitRootLogin yes
pour pouvoir se connecter par WinSCP sous root
Merci encore a tous

Resolution: INVALID => FIXED
