The sshd service needs to be restarted after upgrading to openssh-9.8p1

news.macaw.me / Archlinux News • 1 July, 2024

After upgrading to openssh-9.8p1 , the existing SSH daemon will be unable to accept new connections (see https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/openssh/-/issues/5 ).
When upgrading remote hosts, please make sure to restart the sshd service using systemctl try-restart sshd right after upgrading.

We are evaluating the possibility to automatically apply a restart of the sshd service on upgrade in a future release of the openssh-9.8p1 package.
