Zero PID processes
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
We noticed presence of 4-5 processes with PID 0 on several servers running
both Debian stable and unstable. The processes are those run early
after the init starts, like kswapd, bdflush, kjournald etc. The 0 PID is
only reported by 'ps'. Lsof displays correct numbers.
Chkrootkit always reports possible LKM trojan, because of hidden
processes. I'm not sure what is the cause of zero PID processes.
Is this a bug?
Thanks.
