       4443  0.0  1.0   884   400  p4 S    21:09   0:00 grep 

obvioulsy, user names have been sniped. also too has the telnet
destination.

My question(s) is what is a sleep *0? (other than the obvious) why/where
would it be used?
also run_rwbs? anyone ideas?

just wondered. have seen this sleeps runnin in other places too. 

thanks again.
