No this is not a security breach, or a problem. :0 is the abbreviation for the Console X-Windows display on the local machine.
If it were a display on a remote computer you'd see something like "remotehost:1" or "remotehost:1 -bpp 16" etc. The "-" is displayed like this because ps is cutting out some spaces... All you are looking at is a process which is part of the X-Windows server. If you execute a "ps -aux" you'll see more related proggies being run... -JMS |-----Original Message----- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ken Hawkins |Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2001 1:52 PM |To: expert |Subject: [expert] bizarre command name (resident Program) | | | |I was viewing running processes, and I found the following |line.
