I cross posted to the openSUSE list (as that is where this was running).
All is sorted. Seems it was:

	http://www.energymech.net/

which is a non-root IRC bot. One thing it does is hide the real process
name. It was not /usr/bin/sshd. It was the IRC bot running from a user
folder with only that user's rights. Still, I am not happy. There will
be a password shakeup with the users!
