Hello, I was surfing on my dsl line (dynamic ip) a few minutes ago and noticed my hard drive was churning even though I wasn't doing much. I ran top and saw several processes being run by user 'nobody' such as find, locate.proxxx (?can't remember), and several 'sh'. I immediately killed ppp, and then the 'nobody' processes but many of the processes had already died after I killed the ppp connection. Did someone break in or is freebsd doing something behind the scenes as 'nobody'? -- Scott Dubose Houston, TX To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
