If sshd is running, and a system is upgraded from
<net-misc/openssh-8.2_p1 to >=net-misc/openssh-8.2_p1, any new ssh
connection will fail until sshd is restarted.
Before restarting sshd, it is *strongly* recommended that you test your
configuration with the following command (as root):
sshd -t
If your system is booted with openrc, use this command (as root)
to restart sshd:
rc-service sshd --nodeps restart
If your system is booted with systemd, use this command (as root)
to restart sshd:
systemctl restart sshd
WARNING: On systemd booted machines with PAM disabled, this command
will terminate all currently open ssh connections. It is
*strongly* recommended that you validate your configuration
before restarting sshd.
If you are using systemd socket activation for sshd, then no action is
required.
