[cobalt-users] RaQ3 - strange message from system logs, hacker??



I have been seeing this in my logs, is this normal or could it be hacker
droppings left behind from when our server was compromised a couple of weeks
ago. I noticed this after installing port sentry and log check. The only
thing I have seen in crontab that runs at these times is SWATCH. and there
is nothing in my 'cron.quarter-hourly' directory. If anyone could shed some
light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
