Description Rod m. Stewart 2001-02-25 19:39:40 EST

If you run 'up2date --nox -u' from remote through an sshd connection, your
connection dies when it updates the openssh-server rpm.  At least going
from fisher to wolverine it does.   This would seem to me to be something
many people would do, as I don't usually want to log onto the console of
every machine I have to run up2date.

One other thing I noticed was that sshd did not restart, I had to go
upstairs and restart it on the server manually.

Not certain if this is up2date or openssh related.

This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Release-Candidate #2

Comment 2 Adrian Likins 2001-02-27 15:42:56 EST

Isnt this an issue with the openssh packages? Shouldnt they
be handling the "update" themselves?  

I dont  know anything that up2date would be doing, or
could be doing to prevent this.

Comment 3 Preston Brown 2001-02-27 18:31:51 EST

this is an openssh issue, but I don't know if it can be changed.

Comment 4 Nalin Dahyabhai 2001-02-28 11:27:12 EST

IIRC this was due to some changes in the way initscripts would restart
services.  I believe that this is fixed in the current tree (I have
experimentally verified this, too).  Please reopen this bug if you find that
this continues to be a problem with initscripts-5.65 and later.
