user avahi
Posted by sherwood, 04-22-2009, 11:59 AM Hi, I seem to be getting emails from LFD about the account avahi using Excessive resource this is what i get from the email Account: avahi Resource: Process Time Exceeded: 19847 > 1800 (seconds) Executable: /usr/sbin/avahi-daemon Command Line: avahi-daemon: chroot helper PID: 4305 Killed: No The thing that doesn't make sense if that there is no account for avahi. Am i reading this wrong and is something bad going on in the server? Appreciate any help.
Posted by sherwood, 04-22-2009, 12:29 PM Wish i never posted this now straight away. I found out it wasn't an actual account i host it is a process of some sort that has now been disabled as from what i read it can be a security threat.
