The master sshd process dies.  Sshd processes that are part of active
connections do not seem to die.  I have kept ssh connections to the
bone for days after applying the first round of patches to the cpsw
driver (now part of head).

Yep I can jump on the console and /etc/rc.d/sshd start with no problem.

Mine runs 24/7 at this point and is really hungry for usb so it can be
building the various ports it wants installed!

Please no comments on using nfs.  I do not have the ability to do that
at the moment.

No need to keep a session open.  Just let your bone stay up and running
and then check back at a later time to see if sshd is still running.
