  Hello, I'm taking advantage of netcom's semi-anonymous remailer to call on 
assistance from the bugtraq community.  The machine is a sparc 5, running
Solaris at patch level Generic_101945-10.  TCP wrappers running on standard
services, most rcp stuff wide open.  BTW this is solaris 2.4.  When I run top
or rsh into this or other machines, I get something like:
 
top: cannot open /dev/kmem: Permission denied
kvm_open: Permission denied
 
  I'm worried I've been screwed.  Permissions on /dev/kmem (Which points to
/devices/pseudo/mm0:kmem) are:
 
crw-r-----   1 root     sys       13,  1 Oct 25 11:33 mm0:kmem
crw-r-----   1 root     sys       13,  0 Oct 25 11:33 mm0:mem
 
  This just now started happening.  Is anyone aware of any thing "malicious"
or "fingerprintish" that could have caused this?
 
  Thank you.  Please respond via this list, if you know of a bug or hole which
could be thus exploited, or sloppily left.
