Hi list-- I sent this off a couple of hours ago. Usually 5 minutes after i send, SuSE mails me a copy back. This one it didn't --- it's lost in space ???? Has anybody else noticed similar "slowdown" in "traffic"? Gar GarUlbricht7 wrote:

Recently I've noticed an increased activity on hard disk access on this server which stops when I kill process -:0, which is started by /opt/kde3/bin/kdm. I do not really know what -:0 does but I haven't had any problems killing it. My question is: is this a valid process and then what does it do?
Thanks,
Carlos
Carlos -- the advice yesterday on "suse-security" list to someone who thought his machine was cracked was to unplug it from the net... put in another hard drive, restore, and monitor traffic in and out of restored box, while studying old drive.
Whether you should do that I cannot say
IRRC, kdm is the KDE desktop manager It get's installed as part of kdebase3-kdm. I am running 8.1 with KDE 3.1.2, and using kdm and my version of file:/opt/kde3/bin/kdm was created 2003-05-26 13:36 and is 105.7 KB in size. (kdebase3-kdm-3.1.2-24 created 5/26/03 at 01:36:37) Sorry I can't be of more help. Gar
