That is certainly why the update is out there. (Nasty bug!) But it looks 
like there are no exploits in the wild, yet. One machine that would be 
truly nasty if sshd quit running I just updated today, and no error 
message. (That machine is not critical, but is remote.)

I'm seeing this error on two machines, so I suspect others will have the 
error, too, I'll keep doing web searches for it.


No, I have not restarted one machine where (1) I do ssh logins and (2) I 
am seeing this error. It would be a pain in the arse if sshd didn't 
restart on reboot. I am (foolishly, I'm sure) content to restart sshd 
itself. I know there is a "reboot, always reboot, don't be a fool you 
gotta reboot"-crowd, but I'm not going to do that. Not yet.

At minimum I will do some experimenting on my laptop first. It has the 
error and I don't login to it via ssh, in fact I don't have sshd set to 
start at all. I should set it to start, reboot, see whether it does. But 
I haven't done that yet.


Thanks,
