My x86_64 daily driver was aleady at openssh-9.8p1. I only update my LAN server about every month, so it was still 9.7p1. All was still working.
I updated openssh on the LAN server, then rebooted. After reboot every thing was working. I guess the LAN’s reboot was the same as restarting the sshd service.
Thanks for the heads up.
