About a week ago I noticed a couple entries in /var/log/messages (as |
| 2 |
reported by logwatch) that seemed odd. They have appeared a couple |
| 3 |
times since, but they don't appear at the same time in the logfile, but |
| 4 |
I think they happen on the same day. |

One of the entries is a Usage: message from dhcp, as though something |
| 7 |
tried to restart the DHCP server. |
| 8 |
|

The other is "Re-execs of init: 1 times". I found some references to |
| 10 |
this on the 'net, but generally when discussing prelink. I don't have |
| 11 |
prelink installed, though. |

I've checked the log file and nothing interesting happens just before or |
| 14 |
just after these messages. I can't find any mention of dhcp or init in |
| 15 |
any of the cron files or logrotate files that might be starting it. |
| 16 |
There are no entries in /var/spool/cron/crontabs that might be doing it. |

Has someone cracked my system? |
