OpenSSH-1.12pre15: PATCH: packages/redhat/sshd.init

[Jim Knoble]

The ChangeLog indicates:

  19991113
   [...]
   - Revised Redhat initscript to fix bug: sshd (re)start would fail
      if executed from inside a ssh login.

Unfortunately, the changes made to the init script make it no longer
work on a Red Hat Linux 4.x or 5.x system, which doesn't use the
`success' or `failure' functions available in Red Hat Linux 6.x.

The attached patch enables the script to work in either environment by
checking for the existence of the `success' shell function.
