[openssh-unix-dev] Re: contrib/solaris/opensshd.in patch

[David Bronder]

I'm not a Solaris user, so I don't care much about contrib/solaris,
but wouldn't any script that assumes an sshd with a PPID of 1 is
the parent sshd be fatal if you run a restart twice close enough
together?  First time would work.  But all remaining children would
now have a PPID of 1.  Second restart would kill all remaining
children from the original sshd.

I agree with Ben.  If you can't guarantee that you've got the right
process, say so and defer the decision to the administrator.
