When the configuration parameter AuthorizedKeysFile is present in the sshd_config file, the daemon fails to start.
/usr/sbin/sshd -ddd gives the following error:
debug2: load_server_config: filename /etc/ssh/sshd_config
debug2: load_server_config: done config len = 237
debug2: parse_server_config: config /etc/ssh/sshd_config len 237
debug3: /etc/ssh/sshd_config:41 setting AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys
derelativise_path: getcwd: A system call received a parameter that is not valid.
A workaround is to comment this config item.
Change .ssh/authorized_keys to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
