[ProgSoc] find process in linux

[Vik <vik@nospam.progsoc.uts.edu.au>]

My linux (debian 2) machine quite frequently starts upa a 'find' process
with owner 'nobody'. This slows the system down considerably for quite a
while. Anyone have any ideas what this is,and if I should take steps to
stop it happening (and how one would do this)?

Cheers,
