[CLUG] Very Strange Process on Fedora Core 1 box

[CLUG] Very Strange Process on Fedora Core 1 box

Hmmm....

It could always be rooted :o) It's also been suggested that maybe its a
process with extended non-7-bit characters encoded in UTF-8 name and
through a shell with no UTF-8.

ls -l /proc/28002/exe and same for 28003 will show what started it. Then
a cat on /proc/28002/maps environ and cmdline will show more and might
help reveal what it is.
