Still have the same issue, I'm impressed, I have checked many configurations and are exactly the same
headsetuser

Can't change user after login

No matter what I use in the protocol options for SFTP
Tried many things and options, even this one
sudo su -c /usr/lib/sftp-server

The error is always the same
Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running an SFTP server?

Expended several hours trying to find a way that works for
Ubuntu 23.10

This works well for Ubuntu 23.04
Any help is really appreciated
