Since we don't use putty, I don't think that has anything to do with the
scheduled procs problem, but you seem to having different issues. Might
you have some environment differences between the two different means of
logging in?

Hi All,
Funny stuff. Never seen in 15 years any server sucking up Gigs
of virtual memory after a certain date. Instead, my first bet is
that this is a new kind of virus/trojan/...
It must have something to do with Putty:
- I've restarted our AOLServer 3.3.1ad13 using the Linux
shell and there were no issues at all.
- Now I've entered using Putty (0.5.6) and - what a surprise -
everything crashes now.
I could imagine that this is a new type of trojan that exploits
a vulnerability in Putty and uses it to inject code into a
Linux system that in turn infects another Putty.
And this injected code would modify the behavious of pThreads
and kill our beloved AOLServer.
Could somebody try to confirm this? It's just a theory and
I haven't found any proof yet, but it sounds more probable to
me then a AOLServer suddently going wild.
Even if this theory should prove wrong - It might be a good
idea to watch out for such a kind of Trojan, don't you think?
Cheers,
Frank
