Let me correct one thing...

My "issue" lies with the guy/gal at RedHat who changed the startup
script.  Openssh doesn't install a startup script automatically like an
RPM does.  I thought that I could trust RH to consider situations like
remote updates.

I guess the only viable thing to do is to always have a test system
handy.  The problem is... at the rate openssh/openssl update I'd have to
carry the damn test box all over the east coast with me lest it be
remote from me. 

Just to give you a real example... I'm pretty good about recording
updates/upgrades.  I've done the following openssX upgrades remotely in
the past all to one box, usually ASAP after a fix is released.  Greater
than 50% of those were done while I was on the road somewhere.
