Re: [cobalt-users] Permission denied when issuing find

[Dmitry Alexeyev <dmi_a@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!

No need to worry, it is okay
/proc filesystem is a list of your processes, and fd entry is just a 
list of file descriptors [fd] - open files, sockets, etc.
That means, that processes with pid from 5 to 9 are hidden to you for 
some reasons (intrernal threads like [md_thread] on my system) - it's 
ok for 2.2.x kernel. 
Run chkrootkit if you do not see *ALL* processes from 5 to 9 in `ps aux' 
output. 

Best Regards,
Dmitry
