I have just installed an Xserve for the first time, running 10.2.6 and was very surprised to see the 100% flatline. My top -u readout shows

CPU usage: 82.5% user, 17.5% sys, 0.0% idle
SecurityAg 94.9% , top 2.9%, kernel_tas 1.9%

This is while I’m logged out of the server. Once I physically log in the server cpu readout drops to normal.

Could it be that the server switches cpu loads, acquiring all free cycles for itself?
