About a week ago I noticed a couple entries in /var/log/messages (as
reported by logwatch) that seemed odd. They have appeared a couple
times since, but they don't appear at the same time in the logfile, but
I think they happen on the same day.
One of the entries is a Usage: message from dhcp, as though something
tried to restart the DHCP server.
The other is "Re-execs of init: 1 times". I found some references to
this on the 'net, but generally when discussing prelink. I don't have
prelink installed, though.
I've checked the log file and nothing interesting happens just before or
just after these messages. I can't find any mention of dhcp or init in
any of the cron files or logrotate files that might be starting it.
There are no entries in /var/spool/cron/crontabs that might be doing it.
Has someone cracked my system?
