fwiw sshd runs as root and there is no user sshd on any of my redhat systems 6.0 6.2 7.1 or 7.3 where did you get the sshd user info? what version of openssh are you running? on a 7.3 system: [bhughes@compaq3 bhughes]$ grep ssh/etc/passwd [bhughes@compaq3 bhughes]$ grep ssh /etc/passwd [bhughes@compaq3 bhughes]$ ps axu |grep ssh root 748 0.0 0.1 2560 1252 ?
