kiro-cli can't read sshd_config

[dhughead-aws]

Checks

• I have searched github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues and there are no duplicates of my issue
• I have run q doctor in the affected terminal session
• I have run q restart and replicated the issue again

Operating system

Linux 5.10.247-246.989.amzn2int.x86_64 - Amazon Linux 2

Expected behaviour

Checking my kiro-cli install with kiro-cli doctor, I expected no errors since my /etc/ssh/sshd_config file contains the suggested two lines:

AcceptEnv Q_SET_PARENT
AllowStreamLocalForwarding yes

I have also run sudo systemctl restart sshd, disconnected, and reconnected multiple times.

Actual behaviour

Stuck in this loop:

dev-dsk-dhughead-1e-f67adea6 % kiro-cli doctor

✘ sshd config: Could not read sshd_config

The /etc/ssh/sshd_config file needs to have the following line:
AcceptEnv Q_SET_PARENT
AllowStreamLocalForwarding yes

If your sshd_config is already configured correctly then:
1. Restart sshd, if using systemd: sudo systemctl restart sshd
2. Disconnect from the remote host
3. Run kiro-cli integrations install ssh on the local machine
4. Reconnect to the remote host and run kiro-cli doctor again

✘ Doctor found errors. Please fix them and try again.

If you are not sure how to fix it, please open an issue with kiro-cli issue to let us know!
