Hi list, I ran an update of ssh to 3.6.1p2-8 due to the recent errors in OpenSSH on a system with remote access only.
Afterwards I noticed, that the Version which sshd reports was still the old one. /etc/init.d/ssh restart seemed to have no effect. Presumably caused by my ssh connection, which was ((and had to be) still established. The top process of sshd was not killed/replaced. The only workaround I found was the following: - stop the firewall - attach ssh to another port - connect to the new port - kill(!) the old sshd top process (ssh restart is not sufficient, because the start-stop-daemon does not use this pid anymore) - attach ssh back to port 22 - start the firewall - kill the sshd listening on the other port This is obviously quite annoying. Does anyone know a more comfortable way to replace a sshd on a remote administrated box? Regards, Philipp Hartmann
