I noticed this in my /var/log/messages yesterday: Jul 23 13:03:24 hellfire /kernel: pid 279 (sh), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped) Specifically, a sh w/ uid 0 core dumping didn't sit well with me. I can't find anything in the various other logs that is at all "funny" within a few minutes of that - which is not at all out of the ordinary as there isn't much traffic on this machine. Signal 10 is a bus error, right? Are there any exploits out there currently which would generate a SIGBUS like that? Or would this be indiciative of failing hardware somehwere?
