Sorry, this is Fedora 15, not 16
Comment 2 Jeff Law 2012-02-07 17:46:33 UTC 
Near the end of the glibc upgrade process it will attempt to restart the sshd service.  glibc checks for the existence of various files related to the sshd service, and if they're all found, it restarts the service.

What is the output from running the following as root:

/sbin/service sshd condrestart
Comment 3 joshua 2012-02-07 20:04:38 UTC 
# Doesn't look good:

# tail -f /var/log/messages &
[1] 26132

# /sbin/service sshd condrestart
Restarting sshd (via systemctl):  Feb  7 15:02:51 mb04-001 systemd[1]: sshd.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=255
Feb  7 15:02:51 xyz01-001 systemd[1]: Unit sshd.service entered failed state.
                                                           [  OK  ]
Comment 4 Jeff Law 2012-02-07 21:09:22 UTC 
What version of systemd are you running?

rpm -q systemd

Older than systemd-26-10.fc15?
