-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello world,
Out of curiosity more than anything else, I ran chkrootkit (0.42 from unstable) on my laptop. It comes back clean (though I recognize that that's not definitive), except for a warning about LKM because there are 4 processes hidden from the ps command. I did a little digging and, following some advice that I googled, I compared the PIDs in /proc with the PIDs from the PS command. It turns out, AFAICT, that the only discrepancy is that processes 4, 5, 6, and 7 are missing from the PS command. Those, according to /proc are ksoftirqd_CPU0, kswapd, bdflush, and kupdated. And I can see why they don't compare properly, because the PS output reports them all as PID 0. USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 1 0.0 0.0 1484 444 ?
