[X-Unix] How do I restart the ssh daemon?

[Phil Ershler]

The ssh daemon does not run all the time. It is started as needed by the
xinetd - the extended Internet services daemon.

buzz:/ admin$ cd /etc/xinetd.d
buzz:/etc/xinetd.d admin$ ls
auth            comsat          echo-udp        ftp             ntalk   
         smbd            tftp
bootps          daytime         eppc            ftp.darwin      
printer.bak     ssh             time
chargen         daytime-udp     exec            login           shell   
         swat            time-udp
chargen-udp     echo            finger          nmbd            
smb-direct      telnet
buzz:/etc/xinetd.d admin$ cat ssh
service ssh
{
         disable         = no
         socket_type     = stream
         wait            = no
         user            = root
         server          = /usr/libexec/sshd-keygen-wrapper
         server_args     = -i
         groups          = yes
         flags           = REUSE IPv6
         session_create  = yes
}

See man xinetd for details.

HTH,

Phil
