[lug] load average constant at 2

[Atkinson, Chip]

What does ps show?  Any chance there is a secret process that's running as
the result of an intrusion?  It was something I found on my machines anyway.
It didn't appear to affect the load too much though.  When I see that
problem, it's often something like netscape.

For about 2 weeks now, at least that is when I noticed it first, my load
average sits at 2.  This is with top reporting the idle processes at close
to 100%.  When I reboot the machine the 5 and 15 minute load averages
slowly creep towards 2.00 while the 1 minute average drops to 2.00
after letting the machine idle after I login at the console.  Has anybody
seen something like this before?
Jason
