<div style="font-size:16px;font-style:normal;background-color:transparent;font-family:verdana,helvetica,sans-serif"><span>thats exactly how it happened. even after reboot i saw some ssh processes lingering. the ssh process were started by www-data using perls' Net::SSH lib - from my intranet web page. this box hoststhe LAMP server too. i do not know how perl's Net::SSH internaly manages ssh connections. but i am also confused how a process 'survived' a reboot?</span></div>
