restarting only restarts the master daemon. all running daemons in
charge of existing ssh connections persist. i do it all the time. try
it.

yeah, adding that to my collection. so far:

after you install windows xp, you have the option to create user
accounts. if you create user accounts, by default, they will have an
account type of administrator with no password. way to go!

the remote desktop feature of windows xp is really nice (and *novel*!).
as a micro$oft consultant can *remotely* disable the personal firewall
and control the system. we'll ignore the fact that this tampering with
the firewall is not logged, and more importantly, that the firewall
isn't restored when the clowns from redmod are done with their job.

micro$oft dns service terminates abnormally
when it receives a response
to a dns query that was never made.
fix information: run your dns service on a different platform.
