You can't kill them because they are already dead. They
are just holding state so that the parent process can know
how they died. Once the parent process wait()'s on them
(or the parent dies) they will disappear.
I knew that (except the bit that they're ukillable by design :) ), but I was
hoping it's a known ssh problem - this is the first time I saw sshd processes
as zombies (and it seems they've been zombies for a long time, so parents are
probably in error).
Can I find out what their parent processes are? (something like tree-shaped
ps?)
No tree, but try ps -axl.
PPID = parent process ID
