Is anyone aware of a problem with the following command crashing solaris machines to crash when /etc/sshd_config has been modified
 
kill -HUP <sshd.pid>
 
 
 
To give some background:
I am making a change to /etc/sshd_config on a number of machines in order to change the following fields to tighten security
  AllowHosts nn1.nn1.*  nn2.nn2.*
  EmptyPasswords No
  RhostsAuthentication No
 
 
I am running ssh 1.2.26, solaris 2.5.1- 2.7
About 1 in 15 machines crashed, not exact number, not reproducible (i.e re-running the command works)
Nothing in messages file (no panic string)
The command itself (when it doesn't crash a machine) works fine and does what it is intended to do
The problem seems to be totally sporadic and so far impossible to pin down
 
Any ideas would be appreciated
 
Thanks
