sshd keeps respawning

[Tyler Aviss]

I've got a desktop which has a rather fresh ubuntu (10.04) install.
For some reason, SSHD does not want to die, and keeps respawning
unless I actually uninstall it.

root at amoeba:/# ps auxwww | grep [s]shd
root      1436  0.0  0.0   5552   912 ?        Ss   08:49   0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd
root at amoeba:/# /etc/init.d/ssh stop
 * Stopping OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd                             [ OK ]
root at amoeba:/# ps auxwww | grep [s]shd
root      1462  0.0  0.0   5552   908 ?        Ss   08:50   0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd
root at amoeba:/# kill -9 1462
root at amoeba:/# ps auxwww | grep [s]shd
root      1469  0.0  0.0   5552   912 ?        Ss   08:50   0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd

I haven't seen this happen on any of my other boxen, so this seems to
be relatively new behavior. Any ideas why it won't die!?
