I noticed in my logs someone was commanding my computer to reboot.Lakshmipathi Its slave pseudo-termnial .. It would talk with ptmx
Could this "slave pseudo-termnial" be the culprit?
Now what is "ptmx"?

I learned that "pts" talks to "ptmx".
My question is when pts/# is displayed in Konsole is it a security risk?
