process -:0 - is it a virus?

4 Sep 2003


      I am running SuSE 8.1 as an internet gateway for a small network.
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
