Reproduction steps

1. Upgrade openssh package from 8.8p1-3.ph4 to 8.9p1-2.ph
2. systemctl-daemon reload
3. systemct start ssh
   ...

Expected behavior

Would be possibile to log-in.

Additional context

No response

Start by reproducing the upgrade from openssh 8.8p1-3.ph4 to 8.9p1-2.ph4 on Photon OS 4.0, then inspect the systemd service behavior and the audit, PAM, and sshd logs shown in the report. Done means the SSH daemon starts after the upgrade and users can log in successfully.
