Prevent sshd from being OOM-killed

[alexander@…]

Sshd can be one of the processes killed due to some other process eating all available memory. Thus, no remote access after OOM. To prevent such issues, the kernel must be instructed to avoid killing sshd in the case of OOM:

loadproc /usr/sbin/sshd && echo "-16" >/proc/`cat /var/run/sshd.pid`/oom_adj
