[sslh] sslh-1.7a - problem with zombies

The only option the BusyBox version of ps appears to support is w
(wide).  When I include that flag, there is no difference in the output.


That said, I'm not sure why we're not believing sslh is the source of
the zombies.  In my mind, there's no doubt.

Thanks.

ps also has a column for the actual parent pid - I'd expect busy box
would support that field?

Unfortunately, the router firmware is based on BusyBox, so pstree is not
available.  However, in the output of ps, the command is shown as
[sslh], which I believe indicates that the parent is the sslh process.
And remember, when I kill the main sslh process, the zombies get killed
along with it.

I tried the mod that Yves' suggested
(http://rutschle.net/pipermail/sslh/2010-May/000010.html), but it didn't
make any difference.

Thanks for the feedback.
