This thread went on for a long time, which I mostly ignored TBH. |
| 11 |
However, I think I just found a solution. |
| 12 |
openssh, in some circumstances (I believe to be openssl changing ABI), will |
| 13 |
not restart as you found. It will only not restart when it's being actively |
| 14 |
used, so you can't do so will logged in. |
| 15 |
To restart it when your logged out on a remote server is simply a matter of |
| 16 |
doing this: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
# (sleep 15 && /etc/init.d/sshd restart) & |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Then getting all ssh sessions logged out within 15 seconds. |
| 21 |
I've just done this on a remote system and can now happily log back in, and |
| 22 |
restart ssh without issue. |
