Don't use killall unless you want to drop your current connection. > At second machine, I typed > "(killall -9 sshd; /usr/sbin/sshd)" and the same thing happened. You need not move up to a sledgehammer. Just kill the parent process. Try restarting it. If it doesn't restart, investigate why by looking in the logs. Fix whatever complaint there is in the logs (changes to sshd_config between versions, forgetting to update your pam config file, not reading UPDATING). If, for example the reason it wasn't restarting was due to an error in the config file, a reboot would do little to help you. This is not Windows, rebooting is not the best way to fix a problem.
