No one else has root priveleges. I checked xinetd.conf and there is
no trace of anything there. There is nothing running on port 22
(netstat -nat). I dont understand. There is no trace of the sshd
running at all (ps -aux | grep sshd) Could this have to do with the
configuration file? I also noticed that i have ports 32768 ad 32769
open and waiting for connections. They were never there before. Is
there a way to find out what software is listening on those ports? If
I cant figure this out, is there a way to remove the current sshd and
reinstall it? (that seems like the easy way out...:-)

Thanks
