package: killer severity: serious version: 0.90-6 # justification: causes data loss, makes unrelated software break Hi, the purpose of killer is to kill processes belonging to a user who is not logged in anymore of whose processes are hanging. According to Skolelinux bug #1373 it also kills processes which it shouldnt kill. See http://bugs.skolelinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1373#c5 for a first analysis how this happens. <200909211517.54070.rgx@gmx.de> (on the debian-edu list) also contains useful information for tracking this down. The complete thread started at <200909182345.55873.rgx@gmx.de> regards, Holger
