This is a bit odd. I have been having lots of attempted ssh attacks on my SMS server, so I check /var/log/messages quite frequently.

Doing so earlier today, I noticed this entry:

Code:
Feb  9 04:40:07 sms dansguardian[5474]: Started sucessfully.


Running px ax | grep dansguardian shows that it is indeed running:

Code:
root@sms:/var/log# ps ax | grep dansguardian
 5474 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/sbin/dansguardian
 5476 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/dansguardian
 5477 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/dansguardian
 5478 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/dansguardian
 5479 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/dansguardian
 5480 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/dansguardian
 5481 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/dansguardian
 5482 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/dansguardian
 5484 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/dansguardian
 5485 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/dansguardian
 5486 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/dansguardian


What is puzzling me is that /etc/rc.d/rc.dansguardian is not executable, so it looks as though it is being started by some other process. I've searched through /etc/rc.d and can only find two references to dansguardian, neither of which should be able to start the process.

So, can anyone tell me what might be calling it, and how to prevent it in future?

Paul.

There is a logrotate , that will start dansguardian if it finds the /var/log/dansguardian/access.log...

Just remove /etc/logrotate.d/dansguardian.
I'll fix that in smsconfig to remove it when disable it, and restore it when enabled....
