What are the st* files, and why are they being created in the same
directory as sshd lives?

No idea!? Is the 'install' program doing it?

I'm honestly not sure ... I'm going through my directories again and
can't find any now after that last clean out of them ...

I'll keep an eye on it and see if I see any regenerated, it might be
something from an old 'Makefile' that it was installing ...
