Brad , thanks a lot. I just looked at the grsecurity page and found random IP's is a feature not a bug ;) I just didn't think they were random, but thought they were increasing so fast ( As an excuse; I had a problem with a hanging key on the keyboard causeing respawning and starting processes before, so now I just looked in the completely wrong direction.)
At least we do now that random IP's do confuse the user /hacker :) Thanks Again. > > Eric, > > On Sun, 25 Aug 2002 22:35:10 +0200 Eric wrote: > > > Hello Developers , > > > > I use a Bering RC3 on a 486 DX 66 with 3 nics, which I administer > > with ssh. > > Recently I noticed a fast increasing of the pid numbers, that I couldn't > > understand. > > After rebooting I stopped all services except for ssh > > [lots of snipping from here down] > > > # ps aux;date > > PID Uid VmSize Stat Command > > >> 27529 root 936 R ps aux > > Fri Aug 23 17:32:25 UTC 2002 > > > # ps aux ;date > > PID Uid VmSize Stat Command > > >> 2848 root 936 R ps aux > > Fri Aug 23 17:32:29 UTC 2002 > > > # ps aux ; date > > PID Uid VmSize Stat Command > > >> 7410 root 936 R ps aux > > Fri Aug 23 17:32:34 UTC 2002 > > > firewall: -root- > > # ps aux ; date > > PID Uid VmSize Stat Command > > >>30678 root 936 R ps aux > > Fri Aug 23 17:32:39 UTC 2002 > > > > Does somebody has the same things occuring ( > > perhaps an Kernel /modules issue ? > > Or is there another explanation. > > > I booted with an older version rc1 to verify that > > I didn't have an issue with my box ( permanently > > pressed Keyboard or something like that ;) ) > > > > 2075 root R ps aux > > > 2076 root R ps aux > > > 2077 root R ps aux > > > > so this is normally > > On a hunch, I did some digging for information about grsecurity > and randomized PIDs.
