1 Recently, I have noticed one our servers (running Gentoo) shows something
2 strange in the "top" command.
3
4 The CPU usage % column shows *integer* values intead of *decimal*.
5
6 The server is a (dual?) Pentium4, running an SMP kernel.
7
8 chrootkit doesn't show anything really unusual, no unusual ports appear to
9 be open, and the kernel doesn't allow loading of modules.
10
11 Is this just an artifact of SMP kernels or is something strange going on?
12
13 Thanks
