This consumes CPU cycles as it is a RSA verify operation. Is the system running any PKCS #11 applications? These can be commands like encrypt(1), digest(1) or apps like SJS web server. You could use a DTrace script to find out if you don't know which process(es) is causing kcfd to do the verification. -Krishna This message posted from opensolaris.org
