Thanks to everyone who has responded.
Inetd is started vi rc.conf as normal. I have altered login.conf lowering the
limits for defualt and set up a special group with higher limits etc for
Technical employees, however I haven't touched daemon or root and since it sais
"uid 0" I would have to assume that it was running with the process time of
root which to me is what makes it so odd. This is the second time I have seen
this type of error. Last time my qmail process quit with the same error. I
start qmail via /usr/local/etc/rc.d/script.
Perhaps it is as David Greenman suggested a clock or accounting bug. I am
running 2.2.6-RELEASE. Could it just be that I need to increase my max users
(currently 128) or some other sysctl setting? But at ~4:00 in the morning, I
don't understand what would kill inetd on this machine since the only thing
being used via inetd is the qmail pop3.
Could this be the result of a hacking attempt?
Thanks
Nicole
