Seems you have been hacked... sorry
From the net.......

Quote:
Our server which is a SUN Sparc 5 running solaris 5.7 has been
hacked. The symptoms are that the perfmeters (performance
meters) appear with a gravestone which has R.I.P on it and
the following message appears:

INIT command is resspawning too quickly
use SV /usr/bin/srload -D -q

The srload command seems to do nothing except complain the
-D is invalid. I have restored the /sbin /usr/sbin /usr/bin
and /usr/lib directories from backups. This seemed to work
yesterday. This morning the problem reappeared and restoring
the same file systems has not cured the problem.

We are a very small company and are connected to the world
a briefly as possible to pick up mail and search the web.
I do not understand the mechanisms for such hacking.

It is obvious that we must finally move to Solaris 8 and put
up a good firewall but in the meantime are there any suggestions
about how to fix the current problem as I cannot Rest In Peace
with that gravestone staring me in the face?
Based on my looking around on the net, the platform has been hacked (or might have been) at one time...... You need to consider how to repair.......

I can't find anything good on srload ..... only negative comments.... Neo

mkitab problem with /etc/inittab respawning

Hi All, May be a dumb question to old AIX hacks, if so apologize.

I just need a daemon process (script called 'dpr_daemon') to kick off once and... (19 Replies)

DESCRIPTION

       The  whereis  program  locates source, binary, and reference pages for the specified programs.  When looking for a match, the program names
       are stripped of leading pathname components and any trailing extensions of the form (for example, s.  resulting from the use of the  Source
       Code Control System see sccs(1), are also handled.

       /usr/lib /usr/local /usr/hosts /usr/sbin

EXAMPLES

       To find files matching cat in the default source, binary, and reference directories, enter: whereis cat To search for reference	pages  for

       erence pages in /usr/share/man/man1 with source files in /usr/src/cmd, enter: whereis -u -M /usr/share/man/man1 
	       -S /usr/src/cmd -f /usr/bin/* To find which files in the current directory either have no reference pages in the default  reference
       directories or have more than one, enter: whereis -m -u *
