I'm making this post both here and on cobalt-developers; I'm not sure
where the expertise might reside to answer the question...
One of my colocation clients, who has been hacked several times, notices
that there's a "gmon.out" file, owned by root:siteX, in each directory
of two websites owned by the same client.
There's no reference to either "gmon" out or to gprofs (the program that
produces it) in any of the files on either of the sites.
Anyone have any ideas why or how this file could have appeared on these
two sites?
Jeff
