From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17-14 i686) I used 'up2date -u' to upgrade my rh7 boxen. One of the packages upgraded was openssh, to version 2.5.2p2. After the upgrade, sshd was no longer running. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start with a RH7 box running openssh prior to 2.5.2p2-1.7. 2. Log in using ssh. 3. Use up2date (in the just-logged-in window) to upgrade openssh. 4. Try to login again using ssh. Actual Results: 'Connection refused.' Expected Results: Normal login sequence. Also note that running `/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd start' did not restart sshd. I had to manually run /usr/sbin/sshd. This bug is particularly serious if the only way to login is ssh or the console, and the console is a long way away. I suspect that init.d/sshd is finding the sshd process managing the login session, assuming that this process is the sshd server, and so not starting the server.
