What process is signaling this?
Which process is doing the ssh stuff? In other words, how do I see it when people are pounching at my door? I often have the processes 'sh', 'pmTool', 'kerneltask' taking up a lot of cycles (10% to 20%), I attribute some of these to Matlab, which might use these processes, or VirtualPC as well.
Monitoring and Delays
I've actually never paid attention to what process is doing the authentication, and frankly I'm not too sure about OS X's `top` binary, but I keep an eye on my network meter for systematic looking patterns and my CPU meter for consistent CPU usage when my system should be idling. If something looks fishy I `tail -f /var/log/system.log`. (That's also handy when used with /var/log/httpd/access_log when people are hacking your webserver.)
What process is signaling this?
For every ssh connection, there should be a correspondingly forked sshd instance to handle it. So the list in top or ps, look for the sshd instances. |
