You might be interested in http://bugs.debian.org/222179. I wonder if there is a process with a pid of {4125,4126,4127} that have tasks with a pid of 4128 and 4129. Thanks, that turns out to be the case. Checking now I see all of the "hidden" processes under /proc/N/task of the related process. I had known about the [now-fixed, I think] bug in chkrootkit where it thought ksoftirqd and a few other kernel things were suspicious, but I didn't know about it getting confused by user things. My blood pressure is down a lot now, thanks again! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
