Recent versions of openssh spawn two processes per connection because
they use "privilege separation".  One process, running under the connecting
user's ID does most of the "work" of the protocol, while the other, running
under 'root', does the tasks that require 'root' privileges.  The intention
of this strategy is to make SSH less vulnerable to 'root' compromises.
