I sometimes access my FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p9 box from my laptop via ssh. Sometimes I can connect, but sometimes I get the message "ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.71 port 22: Connection refused". But if I walk over to the computer and manually restart the sshd daemon, I can then go back to my laptop and successfully ssh into the FreeBSD box. Why would it stop accepting ssh connections until restarting the daemon, and how can I fix this from recurring? -- Patrick McMunn
