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).

Regards.
