[CentOS] C 7.3 sshd will not reload

Hi,

Since upgrading to 7.3 I am having a problem getting sshd to reload after configuration changes. When I issue the command "systemctl reload sshd.service"

I get the following error: "Unit sshd.service cannot be reloaded because it is inactive."

It is obviously still running because I am connected over ssh to the machine and netstat shows it is listening. (vnewman pts3) # netstat -tulpn | grep ssh tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 29249/sshd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:6010 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3012/sshd: root@pts (vnewman pts3) #

If I reboot the machine, then everything is OK.

Has anyone seen this behavior or more importantly know how to fix it?

Regards,
