Re: single/multi threaded?

I think there is a confusion over the terminology that is being used here. OpenSSH does not use Posix threads ("pthreads"). It does, however, use the traditional unix fork()/exec() model for handling concurrent requests.

If your definition of "multi-threaded" is the use of Posix threads, the answer is no. If your definition is the ability to handle multiple requests simultaniously, then the answer is yes: through the fork()/exec() model.
