    WHM 54.0 (build 15)- mod_ruid2, PHP-FPM for cpanel enabled.

    I've gotten high cpu warnings from CSF last night. Saw them this morning and figured people were attacking the server somehow. Processes belonged to nobody and named accounts.

    This morning I went into the Process manager and ran a trace on httpd owned by nobody. This is what I found.

    It looks like it's scanning an account and I've seen it do it to a different account.

    The beef is that I've never ran a trace before and don't know if this is normal.
    Looks suspicious as hell, to me, but I figured I'd post here and ask you guys.
    What do you think about the strace below? Done on a httpd process belonging to nobody and taking up 4% CPU in process manager.

    Hi,
    I think it need more logs for trouble shooting this issue. You said you got the load on night. How is your backup configuration ? Do you have any type of heavy traffic on that time ?

    Process manager currently reports 4 httpd processes, owned by nobody, consuming 6%, 3% and two with 1%

    So, is it normal for httpd nobody be reading /home/blahblah? I'm wondering if I'm chasing ghosts.
    Trace on the process with 6% shows it hitting the magento install, again.

    Here's a sample of one of the CSF CPU usage warning. Figured someone was hammering indian05.
    Backup was not running at the time, so all other processes were at 0% or pretty low.

    Hey, Michael.
    I hadn't read about that sar utility, so I thank you for the link and will add do some digging into last night's activity with it.

    The CPU load isn't my real concern, but what httpd with nobody as owner is doing in that first post.
    Is that legitimate behaviour?

    It's normal for Apache to run as the "nobody" user. The trace output you provided does not suggest anything that's necessarily malicious. It's showing you which files are processed. You may need to review the user in question, or consider suspending the account to see if usage drops to normal.

    Thank you.

    Thanks, mister. I will dig further into the CPU usage/etc as time permits.
