There is always an extra dropbear service running - is this right?

When the ssh server dropbear is activated and a remote terminal connection is made another instantiation of dropbear is started and so it goes. Each additional remote terminal connection adds another dropbear service. There's always an extra one. Is this right?

It probably creates a thread per session

The extra process would probably be the "master" one, that listens to requests and then spawns a process to handle them.
