Thank you for the detailed write up. This made me think, why do we actually let sshd run as root? Would it be possible to only run a very unsophisticated ssh server as root that depending on the user specified in the incoming connection just coordinates that connection to the actual user and let the server run there? This could be so simplistic that a backdoor would more easily be detected.
