Its an xfce4 based system. The root shell, sometimes shells, overlay
the login pane on the login screen. There is supposed to be no command
line visible.

Users have to enter a logon and password to login.

The people there have been asked to collect information, when the root
window appears,
by entering :
netstat -a -p -W -v -e -e > netstatdatetime
ps -ef > psdatetime
which will hopefully narrow down the process, parent process and so on.
Haven't noticed anything in particular in /var/log about the ip address
for that terminal.
Thanks for any information.
