Why doesn't the SSH server use xinetd?

Is it just a standalone server? Is there any way to reload /etc/sshd_config with the same way as reloading xinetd configurations? (sudo kill -SIGHUP `cat /var/run/xinetd.pid`)

Yep. It runs standalone. The server maintains a .pid file just as xinetd does - "sudo kill -HUP `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`" should do the trick...

Cool, thanks!
