A question about OpenSSH_3.4p1 on Solaris 8

[Roger Wang]

Ben, thanks for the reply. 

What made me curious is there is only one "sshd"
daemon generated for commecial SSH - I'm testing both
commecial SSH and openSSH. 

Appreciate if you can give more input on this. I have
concern about the performance impact of "sshd". 

Thanks.
