Yes, a lot of people being *quite* upset when they stop ssh to restart it with debugging or to temporarily bring it down while working on something, discover that their session was terminated in a way that's never happened with ssh in the past, and now be unable to connect to the system since it was a remote server. Let's not do that. That would be really unpleasant. We need to preserve the current sshd behavior that stopping the service does *not* kill open sessions. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
