As you can see above, I, mike, am logged into SSH executing commands. This is shown from the w command.
However, there's an odd amount of SSH related processes currently running. I figured dave's sftp session might not show up in the output of w for whatever reason but that doesn't explain all the running processes...
What's wrong? :/
