Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.4p1-1.woody.3
'man sshd' says:
sshd rereads its configuration file when it receives a hangup signal,
SIGHUP, by executing itself with the name it was started as, i.e.,
/usr/sbin/sshd.
This should be 'e.g.', of course, since it might have been invoked
under some other name.
I don't believe that there are pertinent hardware/kernel details here.
