Jim, that doesn't sound right. I have updated ssh*.rpm through an ssh'ed
connection and the connection stays up for the entire time. I have also
done a /etc/init.d/sshd restart over a ssh connection and it also stayed
up during the process. I have even done a remote /etc/init.d/network
restart through a ssh session and the connection goes dark when the ethx
I am on goes off and the connection comes back up when the ethx
connection I am connecting to goes live again. It sounds more like yo
got bit by a gremlin that cause the session to die in the middle of the
rpm -Uvh .
