Currently in my operating systems class and connecting to a remote server on my campus. I used the 'pstree' command to list all running processes in a visual tree and the attached screen shot is what I receive. You will notice after the sshd(secures shell daemon) that there are several sshids(other students connecting in class), but more importantly you will see something like sshid---sshid--- and so forth. This is where I am confused; why are there multiple sshid linking to eachother, my guess is there is an sshid to a proxy then the proxy does an sshid to a server.
