If you are logged on via sshd, then it is adviseable to perform the update in an atjob to make sure that it can be completed if your secure shell daemon gets killed:
rpm -Uhv openssh-*.rpm echo "rcsshd restart" | at now
I just noticed that the second line does *not* work with SuSE 7.0 - the "master" daemon gets killed, but it isn't restarted as long as there are still child ssh processes running; if you log out now, you can no longer log into the remote box - until somebody reboots it or restarts sshd manually! (The procedure works fine with SuSE 7.2, though - I guess the start/stop script needs an update; I suspect 6.4 will have the same problem...) A simple workaround: type echo "rcsshd restart" | at now + 2 minutes and immediatley log out from *all* ssh sessions - after 2 minutes all should be well again... Martin
