I downloaded, compiled, and installed chrootkit and it found nothing. The system ran all day yesterday with no problems then overnight it slowed down again and sure enough top and ps both lock up the ssh window. And my VNC desktop response is REALLY slow. Shutdown normal commands won't work so I use shutdown -n -r now and that reboots the system and the slowdown is gone.
Really wish I could figure out what is causing this. My RH7.3 system runs for weeks at a time with no hiccups on a less powerful box. Is it possible for bad memory or hardware to cause this? ---------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: It's connected to Intrernet? If yes, ( I'm paranoid ) download chkrootkit from www.chrootkit.org. Compile and install it. It tries to discover if a rootkit is installed in your system ( a lot of times this rootkits are used by attackers to perform Dos to another machines or wide netscans to internet.

Worse yet, shutdown will not work unless I use the -n option. I am stumped and almost ready to go back to 7.3 as I have just gone through the rpm and up2date "mysterious" freeze up issue and am starting to wonder if this upgrade is really an upgrade. System is a p3 600 with 384 mb ram. I don't have an extra monitor for the machine so I always run VNC to adminster/work on it when a GUI is needed. -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
