The following appeared in my latest daily security run output: Checking for uids of 0: root 0 toor 0 This is the first time I've seen this message. I checked /etc/passwd and found this: root:*:0:0:Charlie &:/root:/bin/csh toor:*:0:0:Bourne-again Superuser:/root: I am running FreeBSD 4.10 as a gateway/router/firewall with IPFW for a small home LAN. I ran ps -aux and looked for any processes owned by "toor" but didn't find any. Is this something to be concerned about? Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I am still very much a newbie and trying to learn what I can about security. Thanks for your patience, Jim
