Subj: sh /etc/rc autoboot
From: troy@one.com.au

Hi, i am becoming more and more confused about the behaviour of one of my
FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE machines.

In particular the appearance of the jobs with COMMAND = sh /etc/rc autoboot.

If someone would be so kind to inform as to what possible reason these jobs
hang around in the system. The machine has been shutdown and restarted in
various ways but these jobs are consistently hanging around. With the exception
of one shutdown where the system was taken down by removing power, the
subsequent restart caused XF86 to exit on signal 6, a ps -ax is provided later
in this email.

tcsh is frequently core dumping as soon as i authenticate myself.
telnetd is occasionally core dumping.

ps -ax listing follows, if more information is required i will attempt to
provide it.

Thanks in advance,

Troy Smith
