ssh restart interupt the terminal or not

[rajesh73]

i need direct root login access

i just change  /opt/ssh/etc/sshd_config  ---file

after change this file it is require to restart

/sbin/init.d/secsh stop
/sbin/init.d/secsh start

Question - my doubt during the restart putty terminal disconnect for connected users or not.  because more users are connected in the server

The existing sessions will not be affected. Each ssh connection begins from sshd, but if the the top level sshd program is restarted, the existing sessions are transferred to the init process (PID = 1) with no interruption.
