Once again: existing sshd connections *are* *not* *part* of sshd.service.
After they are established they are independent and are not touched when sshd.service is stopped or restarted.

(It is possible that there's a bug in your Debian package or setup or whatever... I can only say that it works for me and apparently for most people, and of course is *designed* to work this way. If it doesn't work for you, please provide the details and we'll work on a fix. Probably best to do this on the distribution bugtracker rather than here though.)

Asking mgb for details about specific failures of systemd-based systems is a waste of electrons; they have explicitly stated on this site a refusal to use systemd or help debug systemd.

It's also clear from this subthread that mgb doesn't bother to actually read posts to which it responds: rather, it scans them for things that can be attacked, and ignores everything else, including inconvenient facts that might contradict its rants.
