yes, i meant samba

in my case the problem was that sftp/ssh did no longer accept connections
samba was the only long-running process which did accept connections
while some basic libraries was damaged, but yes this is a rare case
and a live-cd boot can do the same, it was some years ago and this
time i was happy to repair the installation until ssh worked again

but if you not have samba installed forget it, useless overhead

normally a "yum remove" should show the list of removd packages
to make sure if a temporary "rpm -e --nodeps" is possible
