perhaps suse could add a section about cron jobs to the security manual? this is regularily scheduled stuff, like updatedb (locate).

Nah. I don't think so. If a user can use ps, then cat is not too far away. Anyway, if you use options like "ps faux", you see where the processes come from. Roman.

Is this a C&P mistake, or was this really one line? Maybe a bug in the trojaned "ps" :)?
What does your question mean? The output of ps is explained in man ps. find, sort and su each have an own manpage, none of them is security-relevant. oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.

Hi Steffen,
I guess why he was asking was because he hadn't started those jobs himself, and not because he doesn't know how to interpret ps output. As Kurt answered in his mail: "this is regularily scheduled stuff, like updatedb (locate)."
Good to know - but so useless.... (Or have you ever seen a handwritten ASCII - eMail with a real signature or signet?) :) Cheers and Merry Xmas!!! Ralf * * Ralf 'coko' Koch * mailto:info@formel4.de * --- Drücken Sie auf Abbrechen zum Fortfahren
