sshd process running - /usr/sbin/sshd -o PidFile=/var/run/sshd.init.pid

Hello Experts,
I was looking at the server recently build and found the below process running, does anyone know what this process is doing and what it is used for.

/usr/sbin/sshd -o PidFile=/var/run/sshd.init.pid

Thanks in advance.

Thank you.

And the reason i was curious about this process is when i enter 'w', below is the out put
 w
 14:25:35 up 19 days, 42 min,  3 users,  load average: 0.11, 0.10, 0.08
USER     TTY        LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
root     pts/1     13:18    0.00s  0.03s  0.00s w
root     pts/4     18Aug10  0.00s  0.00s  0.20s /usr/sbin/sshd -o PidFile=/var/run/sshd.init.pid

whereas on other servers, its only

w
 14:26:23 up 32 days,  8:54,  3 users,  load average: 0.07, 0.12, 0.09
USER     TTY        LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
root     pts/1     14:26    0.00s  0.02s  0.00s w

Thinking is their any significance/difference in the first server compared to second. Any idea!

I can connect to both the servers using ssh.
I was wondering why 'w' output for one server shows the process and not for the other server.
