Jul 16, 2007 1 Replies

Hello all! i've already tried to find answer by searching usenet, but no results. my problem is: I have my debian 3.1 sarge linux as 24/7 router/server etc. some day i found some strange activity. there was a process called "barbut" (2 of them) using 49,2% CPU time each :O meanwhile netstat showed established connections to 195.73.177.146:666

Hi,

Have you installed such a program? Where is it installed? What kind of files are around that place?

Some host in .nl.

I don't know about you, but I would take the machine off the net and try to understand what happened. After that, reinstall without the hole.

Cheers, Jens
