Thanks for the correction a polite would have done though!

and the clarification I actually hadn't noticed the other file I made a
type and intended to refer to sshd_config

Please if you are going to make a correction please get it right - in
fact they do call it sshd a least on my RaQ, but as I tend to only type
half of what I want and then press TAB for auto complete I rarely notice
on this occasion I connected to a RaQ and double checked the correct
command is in fact /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart

Sorry for any confusion for anyone.
