For no reason my SSH shut down &/or stop responding yesterday, but 
restarting SSH daemon (the entire server via web gui) took care of it.

I was using an older release of SSH, and knowing a newer version was 
available, upgraded as soon as the server came back up.

Is there some sort of exploit or vulnerability with older versions of 
SSH? I was using the version prior to the version currently available on 
pkg.nl.cobalt.com.  I have obviously forgot the old version number.

But I am still looking for a reason as to why the service stopped 
responding, and closed the port. No work had been done to the server 
within that would or could have effected SSH daemon. I have yet to see 
many services on *nix machines stop without a good reason.

Anyone have any info on this, or similar experiences?
