Zombie Program?

[Minarwan (Min)]

Hi All,

For the second time in this week, when I typed

top

in my terminal (Ubuntu 6.10), I saw "1 Zombie" listed. But it
disappeared soon after I closed my Firefox browser. The word zombie
doesn't look good to me and I am now thinking if my computer somehow
has been intruded.

I wonder if I can check what program is considered as Zombie by
Ubuntu. Anyone know how to do it? Or is this usual/normal (zombie
running within Ubuntu)? Is ther any program in Ubuntu that can run as
a Zombie?

Any response will be appreciated.

Many thanks.
Min
