Unauthorized SSH connections


Today I was sitting around and by chance happened to notice that my machine had traffic of ~5 kB/s (up and down), but I was not doing anything to initiate this. So I checked the network connections:

Code:
njl@dvorak:~$ netstat -tup
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
 will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
Active Internet connections (w/o servers)

tcp6       0      0 ::ffff:192.168.2.30:ssh appsrv2.masternur:57248 TIME_WAIT  -
And there I found some mysterious SSH connections to appsrv2.masternursery.com on various ports. I then killed the SSH processes and the network traffic stopped.

What is going on?

(Debian etch, linux 2.6.18, KDE, etc etc)

What is going on? You don't have your SSH properly secured and someone managed to establish a connection.

Read the sticky thread on this forum about unauthorized SSH connections to learn what to do about it.
