    That's a good idea as well, unless you want everyone to start using that
    config, then all shells have to be killed as well.

    This isn't a very solvable problem, if the system is hardened completely
    the only other way to access the system would be either physically or
    through a console connection. I personally am unaware of a remote SSH
    start command, without using a tool that can monitor the shell. We use
    NetCool and it does a great job. In fact all of our SNMP traffic is
    forwarded over SSH tunnels to the probes, if those tunnels go down,
    Netcool attempts to restart them as well. Very nice.

    Your init.d script should just blithely kill all sshd processes, you
    only need kill the parent process, either by looking in the sshd.pid
    file or doing a ps -ef | grep sshd and look for the one with the PPID of
    1. This will leave your existing connection open while restarting the
    process listening on the port.

I have ssh 3.6.1p1 running on Solaris 2.5/6/7/8 and 9.  Aside from
walking 
over to the host and issuing /etc/init.d/sshd start, how do restart sshd
if 1) it fails and 2) you modify the configuration file and need to 
restart it on a remote host? 
Thanks for the help, 
Mc
