# The sshd service needs to be restarted after upgrading to openssh-9.8p1
After upgrading to openssh-9.8p1, the existing SSH daemon will be unable to accept new connections. (See https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/openssh/-/issues/5). When upgrading remote hosts, please make sure to restart the SSH daemon using `systemctl restart sshd` right after upgrading. If you are upgrading to openssh-9.8p1-2 or higher, this restart will happen automatically.
I think it may be better to just mention that we are evaluating to do this automatically for future major version upgrades. Whether we get it right properly with -2 is not yet clear ;-) The restart won't hurt either way (unless users have somehow bricked their configuration in the meantime). Other than that, looks good! Thanks for taking the initiative! Best, David -- https://sleepmap.de
