Does this make sense?

I got up this morning and found a whole bunch of stuff going on with my
computer that I don't think I asked it to do. I checked the last couple
of chkrootkit messages and nothing looks out of place. Here's what was
running:

  PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND

My concern starts with CROND (not crond) at 24186, and continues down to
sendmail at 24717. I use cron, but I don't know what's going on with
CROND. Do I have a problem here, or is one of the servers (mysql, smb)
doing this?

Thanks.

Mike
