rpm

A workaround which really isn't so great is to put this in your %post

exec 0</dev/null
for fd in `seq 1 12`; do
    exec ${fd}>/dev/null
done
service restart sshd

You might need to bump the end fd higher.  12 seems to work for rpm 4.0.x.
The w/a is kind of bad cuz now sshd will have all those fd's open.
