Hi SSH gurus,

can somebody explain to me, why is it that every time i connect to my server, it open a ports for ssh starting with 6010, when an ssh connection is established it supposed to be on port 22. how can we eliminate this from happening since from my understanding this port will be open and starts listening. an example of my netstat is here with 2 ssh connection, please notice the 2 localhost using port 6010 and 6011 and with state of LISTEN
