sshd restart - is this right??

[Michael Hipp]

Over the last couple of days I've been updating systems for the openssh 
exploit. Using RH's 'up2date' tool, I download and install the openssh 
updates, then do '/sbin/service sshd restart' to get the new code 
running. Weird thing is, my ssh session I'm using to do this never 
drops, even when sshd is restarted. Is this right? Is there some way to 
verify the new code is indeed running? (These are RH 7.3, 8.0 and 9 
systems.)

Thanks,
Michael
