The only things that I can guess are that it is trying to update something in /proc or it needs to load a kernel module before writing. Just for fun - try burning a disk as root. Then try burning another dist as a non-root user. If the the second disk burns then one or the other of the above is

This process is the ssh daemon: root 2988 1 0 Sep04 ?00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sshd Two things: before killing the process with the KILL signal, I would try killing it with TERM kill -TERM 2988 If that doesn't work then kill the process with the KILL signal. I would also use:

Yes. As a personal preference I don't usually chain commands together when trouble shooting something, but there is technically nothing wrong with doing so. -Stephen On 9/10/07, Grant [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This process is the ssh daemon: root 2988 1 0 Sep04 ?00:00:00

Killing the ssh daemon does not effect any of the existing connections. The ssh daemon is used to listen for new connections and create a process to handle communications with that request. That is why when you update configuration parameters for sshd, they do not take effect until the next

I think that there may be something significantly wrong with your box (or configuration of sshd). I have never had a server disconnect an active connection when killing the ssh daemon. If there is someone that you can contact in the data center I would ask them to: 1) Backup your current
