That's ocspd..  OpenSource Certification Authority Toolkit.

My 10.4.4 screen locking action works fine. My suggestion is that you set a hot corner for screensaver.

Ok... this whole screen not locking after 10.4.4 and nobody else having the problem really concerns me.

I did a (at the shell) process monitor (ps aux), and didn't notice anything weird other than:

/usr/sbin/ocspd

There is no manual entry for it, and when run directly it just says "Abort Trap".... after a reboot, my machine now locks properly upon screen saver abort.

I'm not in a high security agency, but it strikes me as very peculiar that my computer sat all night on a screen saver and when I came in in the morning didn't require a password, even though I rebooted after the 10.4.4 update.

I use Filevault as well for file protection, but I am worried that perhaps a key logger or something may have been installed.

To my knowledge, to install an application they would still need my admin password, but they could install a binary application at the shell level and effectively install a key logger or some other type of malware without an admin password considering they potentially had access to my account and shell.

Does anyone know what this OCSPD application does? We had some linux machines at one time that got the "froggy" bug (showed up as frgy in process monitor) that would capture passwords and email them out.

Would it be overkill to rebuild my machine from scratch, or is there an easy way to determine if something has been placed on here to capture keystrokes, keychains, etc.
