if it's scheduled, which it was not. The find command had a parameter that contained a flag called -nfs. Again, the app did not cause the root it was someone monitoring my ip from the gateway. What I did was a 'ps -ef' and I found 7 processes running that were not cron jobs and the user was "nobody" - I only specified the "updatedb" and the "find" command that I found from the ps output. It might have just been coincedence - but I believe someone monitored my internet ip from the limewire broadcasting it. Either way - I would not run a p2p app from a client behind a linux firewall without some kind of intrusion detection on the gateway.
