Description Yuxin Sun 2016-04-06 05:34:20 UTC
Description of problem:
Cannot execute "reset remote access" twice successively on one VM.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
WALinuxAgent-2.0.16-1.el6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare a VM (ASM mode) and execute "reset remote access" on it through portal.
2. Check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. The old file is made a backup and a new file is generated
# ll /etc/ssh/sshd_config*
3. Execute "reset remote access" again.
4. Check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.

Actual results:
In step 4, nothing happened to sshd_config file.

The second time I reset remote access, there's no new /var/lib/waagent/Microsoft.OSTCExtensions.VMAccessForLinux-1.4.0.0/config/*.settings, but the latest *.settings file is updated.(For example, if there were 0.settings and 1.settings files, after the second resetting remote access, there's no 2.settings file generated, but the 1.settings file is updated.)

Expected results:
In step 4, the old sshd_config file is made a backup and a new file is generated.

Additional info:
If execute "reset remote access" several times successively, the sequence number will always the same, so that it will be quit.
If do "reset password" and then do "reset remote access", the "reset remote access" can work well.
If do "reset remote access", than do "reset password", then do "reset remote access" again, it can work well.
