Hi All, I run SuSE 9.3, with some network services running (ssh, cupsd, samba). I also run KDE for the most part, but installed pretty well everything (including gnome) regardless of whether I planned to use it or not. I noticed recently that sometimes my system goes really slowly for a while, and I've determined that the culprit is a process called netdaemon, which appears to be part of gnome. It comes from a binary /opt/gnome/bin/netdaemon. It was using 98% of my CPU according to top, and pretty much staying there. I killed it without immediately obvious consequences. There is no manpage for it, at least not that I can find. What's it doing? Should it be running, or is this the result of "unauthorized" actions? TIA Cheers, Simon "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions." Naguib Mahfouz __________________________________ Yahoo!
