This isn't entirely convincing. I've buy some if I had some kind of grotty
wire attached, but this is a bare distribution panel.
What seems to be happening is that the getty sitting there getting buzzed.
No forking going on (vmstat -f) and it's always the same getty sitting there.
No messages going to syslog either. Kind of hard to to tell if it's pounding
the passwd file as you suggest.
