NHC fails on Rocky 9

[jaimesouza]

NHC complains about sshd not running on Rocky Linux 9.6:

Health check failed: check_ps_service: Service sshd (process sshd) owned by root not running

But sshd is up and running:

$ sudo systemctl status sshd
● sshd.service - OpenSSH server daemon
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/sshd.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Mon 2025-09-01 14:47:19 CEST; 1 day 9h ago

             man:sshd_config(5)
   Main PID: 1707 (sshd)
      Tasks: 1 (limit: 1228685)

             └─1707 "sshd: /usr/sbin/sshd -D [listener] 0 of 10-100 startups"

The same setup works on Rocky Linux 8.10 machines.

Seems confused by the 'sshd: ' infront of the command arguments line. I made a kludge fix to this in lbnl_ps.nhc around line 83 adding right after

PS_ARGS[$THIS_PID]="${LINE[*]:9}"

the additional line

PS_ARGS[$THIS_PID]="${PS_ARGS[$THIS_PID]/[a-z][a-z]*: /}"

This might break some check_ps test I am not doing but it works for me.
