Hi, after i apply iptable to restrict access to the classic
web server port and after to have blocked 210.169.91.66 that
seams to be the ip from where someone use my server are 2 days
that i don't see exe in the top.

Sockstat file tell me this:
sockets: used 113
TCP: inuse 59 orphan 1 tw 63 alloc 65 mem 155
UDP: inuse 14
RAW: inuse 0
FRAG: inuse 0 memory 0

Strings don't know how it work. I know that when i see this
exe in the TOP and i do lsof -p processnumber it show some
lib file used and one file in the /tmp signed as deleted.
