Type and version:	Ultra-1 8.2.13
Display type:		ffb

What were you trying to do?
	kill off sshd on a machine


What went wrong?
	I succeeded for all of the wrong reasons


What should have happened?
	I should have picked the right signal to send to sshd, and it
	shouldn't have died when I sent it the wrong one.


Yo, got any documentation, or other info?

Yeah, I guessed that a HUP would kill sshd.  When I HUPped sshd it
syslogged:

Nov  2 04:13:27 [speaker-for-the-dead] sshd[16152]: log: Received SIGHUP; restarting.
Nov  2 04:13:27 [speaker-for-the-dead] sshd[16152]: log: RESTART FAILED: av[0]='sshd', error: No such file or directory.

I suspect that this is because access_on fails to give sshd a full
path when it starts it.
