[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello, I'm wondering what program would use root to execute 'login -h <some weird host> -p". I've noticed every now and then that it would be running as root, and as a regular user, you cannot use the -h option. What exactly could be going on? I only run telnet and ssh1 as remote login daemons. Does telnet or ssh1 require this login command to be executed certain times or randomly? I have both telnet and ssh clients chmod 700, so a regular user won't be able to remotely login from my computer... Any ideas? -- Richard Ward "sleep deprived and caffeine-empowered" [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2614.3500" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm wondering what program would use root to execute 'login -h <some weird host> -p".
