Hello, all
I've got the following "problem" today when I checked my FreeBSD 4.6
/var/log/messages file:
Nov 1 03:01:01 pantcho /kernel: pid 32984 (su), uid 0: exited on signal
10 (core dumped)
Nov 2 03:01:00 pantcho /kernel: pid 34341 (su), uid 0: exited on signal
10 (core dumped)
Nov 2 04:15:01 pantcho /kernel: pid 34622 (su), uid 0: exited on signal

Nov 4 03:01:00 pantcho /kernel: pid 39283 (su), uid 0: exited on signal
10 (core dumped)
Nov 4 10:53:45 pantcho su: BAD SU utopia to root on /dev/ttyp0
Nov 4 10:53:52 pantcho su: BAD SU utopia to root on /dev/ttyp0
Nov 4 10:53:57 pantcho su: utopia to root on /dev/ttyp0
The system where I got this message is up and running for two months
since now but this is the first occurence of this message. I'm curious
what is the reason for the SU's core dumping and also what is the reason
for making SU active. The "ugly" thing is only these are the messages in
/var/log/mesages in the period from 1 of October until 4 at the morning.
These 4 days the system was up but nobody uses it because of a holiday
days.
Also I make two wrong and one right atempts to SU to root in order
to check the syntax of the logged messages and it seems that the "core
dumped" messages are not issued by an user trying to get root. Also it
looks like the kernel itself issues SU because instead of program name
the owner of the SU process is /kernel.
So that's my so called problem :) I'll appreciate any clue on
what is the reasons for this behaviour.
Regards
