Re: 'nobody' is using my system !!!

Howdy, Dragos LUNGU:

 Thanks.  You are right.  I did a 'cat'
and that was the only line!

 Geesh, I added 'updatedb' to rc.local thinking that I was
updating my database.  It would have happened at the next
04:40 anyway!  :-|

 I guess that I will remove that line from my rc.local from
all my linux boxes. 

Regards, Chuck
