On NetBSD 9.2 amd64 VPS I noticed system slowness and top showed too many ssh processes - 49 to be precise.
I have blacklistd enabled and approximately in every 2 to 3 minutes a new IP address is getting blocked. Using console access I stopped ssh service, killed sshd processes and restarted. As of writing this the count of sshd processes is 10 again, when only 2 ssh sessions are shown in `who'. What explains the count of these processes and what precautions shall I be taking? -- Mayuresh
