I wrote shut down because even if the restart fails and you have no sshd running, your existing ssh session will continue to work while you fix the breakage.

[ ok ] * Remember to merge your config files in /etc/ssh/ and then * reload sshd: '/etc/init.d/sshd reload'. Is this a new message or have I just missed in the past? I don't know anywhere else for ssh configuration files to exist except /etc/ssh and I normally just do /etc/init.d/sshd restart anytime it gets updated. Has anything changed about this? I'm updating a remote machine and don't want to lose connectivity. Probably what the writer of that message meant is to update the config files with dispatch-conf and the like. I don't know to what else merge could refer.

I'm sure it's perfectly clear to someone. Cheers, Mark

That's exactly what I did, additionally logging in as a different user that wasn't present before the restart. Cheers, Mark
