I noticed this as well.. and decided to roll my own version, and include a patch for setproctitle support, this to aide debugging. It in fact does work, but the 'sshd' process from the 'sshd' user only exists before login. If you connect to the ssh daemon it will fork off this process, if you do a ps-listing at this stage you will see it. As soon as you log in, this process will be replaced by a process running as your user account. You can also see that the 'priv' process (running as root) will be chrooted in /var/run/sshd This was/is all in woody, but I suspect potato to act the same :) -- Mark Janssen -- maniac(at)maniac.nl -- GnuPG Key Id: 357D2178 Unix / Linux, Open-Source and Internet Consultant @ SyConOS IT Maniac.nl Unix-God.Net|Org MarkJanssen.org|nl SyConOS.com|nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
