In your case it could be due to an issue special to 7.1. You need an uptodate version of the sysvinit package (it's on ftp.suse.com), otherwise after an update of the sshd binary it won't be killed by the killproc program (that is used within the /etc/init.d/sshd script). This was a bug.
Ok I have checked the version of sysvinit.rpm on my box it says 2.78-143. I could not find an updated sysvinit.rpm on the 7.1 updates directory of the ftp ( I have used ftp.suseturkey.com and ftp.gwdg.de to be sure).
You are right -- I can't find a sysvinit.rpm update either. Sorry, I was sure we had them... I probably confused it because I knew of that bug, and I used to install a sysvinit update package which is available for ... 7.2 (for another problem).
However there happens to be an updated sysvinit.rpm with version 2.78-151 on the ftp if I go to the 7.1 ftp tree (not the update). Checking the changelog of the rpms give a diff of nothing since they are identical meaning whatever the bug that you mention if it is corrected then it is not mentioned. So giving the benefit of doubt I am assuming the bug you mention is fixed.
Right... There is no difference apart from the RPM release number (which only means that the package has been rebuild a couple of times).
On the other hand I would have expected a two line changelog added to the new rpm and placing the new rpm to the updates directory.
The lines would be * Thu Mar 22 2001 - werner@suse.de - Startproc/killproc: handle by RPM moved and deleted exe links [...] * Mon Mar 19 2001 - werner@suse.de - Startproc/killproc: handle deleted exe links The dates tell that the changes are contained in 7.2, as apparently we did not make update packages available. I will see if we shouldn't do that.
Though it is not security bug it should be mentioned on the updates listing on http://www.suse.de/en/support/download/updates/71_i386.html
It would :)
