Suspicious process running - can't turn off this

Post by explosive »

Hi,

latest CSF, I've many emails like "lfd on host: Suspicious process running under user xxx". This is nice feature but this send me many emails, so i try to turn off this but with no result:

PT_LIMIT = 0
PT_USERPROC = 0
PT_USERMEM = 0
PT_USERTIME = 0

csf -r

and nothing changes. still have info about my procceses. So i try add them to cf.pignore:

mail says:

Code: Select all

"Executable:

/usr/bin/perl


Command Line (often faked in exploits):

monitorix-httpd listening on 8080"
so I've added:

Code: Select all

exe:/usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/monitorix-httpd
exe:/usr/bin/perl monitorix-httpd
cmd:/usr/bin/perl monitorix-httpd
pcmd:/usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/monitorix.*
csf -r

and still no change.

How to add this to pignore?!?

Hi,

Apart from the CSF. you need to restart the LFD service too.

That is, after adding the CMD to the csf.pignore file, restart CSF and LFD.

csf -r
service lfd restart
