[Sheflug] ghost find processes

[Denis Nikitin <dnn [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,
I am bit puzzled with Suse 9 periodically starting following 'find' processes:
ps -ef output:
nobody    2196  2193  0 23:46 ?        00:00:00 su nobody -c /usr/bin/find /      
\( -fstype nfs -o -fstype NFS -o -fstype proc -o -fstype afs -o -fstype smbfs 
-o -fstype autofs -o      -type d -regex '\(^/mnt$\)\|\(^/cdrom$\)\|\(^/tmp$
\)\|\(^/usr/tmp$\)\|\(^/var/tmp$\)\|\(^/var/spool$\)\|\(^/proc$\)\|\(^/media$
\)' \) -prune -o -print
etc. etc.
What's this is all about? And how stop this annoying thing from happening?
If Suse trying to find what to mount (for no apparent reason to do so) as 
spare time activity, there should be the way to stop this 'intelligent' 
behaviour.
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Dennis.
