Is it possible to restart the sshd service in command line ?

[Zou]

I'm in vacation and I try to activate the ssh tunneling in my FreeNas.

So I've uncomment the "AllowTcpForwarding yes" option to the sshd_config file but now I try restart the service to make the changes active. (I don't have access to the WebUI).

I've tested "service sshd restart" and I got this

Code:

....Zou # service sshd restart
Performing sanity check on sshd configuration.
Stopping sshd.
Waiting for PIDS: 79190.
Performing sanity check on sshd configuration.
Starting sshd.

but my ssh session was not closed (normally when I restart the sshd service in a remote server my ssh session is cut) and the tunneling still don't work.

I'm on Freenas 11.1-stable.

Any configuration changes followed by a restart only applies to new sessions, not existing sessions.

I log out and log in before testing the tunneling.

It seems "service sshd restart" is not restarting properly or it's not the good way to restart the service.
