Scads of defunct processes ins AIX 4.3.3

[Sandor W. Sklar]

How are you starting the initial sshd daemon?  If through 
/etc/inittab, make sure that the action is not set to "respawn", but 
is "once".  Better would be to just call a script that starts the 
daemon after checking some things.

Perhaps I'm off-base here; in any case, I'd be happy to help you if 
you provide more information.
