+Either a change in Pam configuration or in sshd_config will need a
+restart, but for both of this it is too late as systemd is already
+in place and so any restart will kill all session.
+
+And the behavior I explained happend to me on a computer already having
+UsePam in sshd_config (to use ldap).
+
+Sshd has no reload facility, only a restart.
+
+I still think no RPM should trigger a restart on a not directly releated
+service, especially the glibc because any issue with this package can
+break your system (inlike the kernel there is no backup for the libc).
