Re: [gentoo-user] SSH won't restart

["Stephen Wittig" <nofx911@gmail.com>]

Killing the ssh daemon does not effect any of the existing
connections. The ssh daemon is used to listen for new connections and
create a process to handle communications with that request. That is
why when you update configuration parameters for sshd, they do not
take effect until the next connection.

The problem with connecting to the server via telnet is that your
password can be easily intercepted - which is one of the major reasons
telnet has been depreciated.
