Hi, It may not be an 'attack' ... probably just due to RH9s threading lib ...

Only way to restart is kill the process and again run "startup.sh". I cannot stop normally using "shutdown.sh" Configuration : Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike), Tomcat 4.1.24, Postgres 7.3.4 Points Checked - 1. The tomcat is not down, I can see process by "ps -ef" 2. However, as a result of "netstat -tcp" I am getting some unknown users accessing my "mysqld". Under normal working conditions I can recognise the IP address and accessed processes listed under "netstat -tcp" Actually I am not using "mysql" at all. No other application on server is using mysqld. 3. The default Apache 80 port can be accessed normally(Tomcat is running on 8080). 4. I have changed the port to 8081, but problem persists. Is it that someone is making lot of fake connections to slow down my tomcat, or am I infected by virus? Any hint or pointer will be appreciated.
