I have been working on a Cobalt RAQ server and suddenly the thing is on
the fritz. I am able to ssh into it, but once I get on, bash forks on me
(at least that is the way it looks). Every command forks except for $
cd which allows me to change directories. Here is some sample output:
bash: fork: Try again
[admin admin]$ su
bash: fork: Try again
[admin admin]$ ls
bash: fork: Try again
[admin admin]$ pwd
/home/sites/home/users/admin
[admin admin]$ cd
[admin admin]$
as you can see both cd and pwd work. I have never encountered this problem.
The secure web server is still working, along with the administrative
server, but from the shell, it sure looks suspicious.
Does this look like a crack attack?
Here are the IP's:
209.235.50.96
209.235.50.95
209.235.50.94
Before these problems occured, the CPU usage and memory usage appeared erratic
from the web based admin tool.
