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!

netdaemon is a program that allows you to change network settings as a regular user. It is what netapplet uses to do its thing. You have apparently come across a bug in it. Perhaps you could report it to http://bugzilla.novell.com?
Hmm, I presume there's no point reporting it if I have no forensics
whatsoever :) No clue what I did (system was idle showing a screensaver
at the time I noticed it) or what might have happened. There's no core
dump, nothing.
I also find that my wireless network is _very_ unwilling to be
reconfigured. Usually any attempt to do so once it's finished booting
results in an immediate freeze of the whole system. So, there's every
possibility that something else entirely is the cause.
But if I get any information that might actually be reproducable, I'll
be sure to report it.
Thanks,
Simon
