Glen writes "Recently I found through the current activity spid1 with a user id which did not have rights to the master database executing a strange select statment. select 504,(several fields from the master tables followed this. After every restart of SQL the same user id was executing the select statement always with the 504, and different fields after that. Would anyone have an idea what was going on with this type of statement? The only reference I could find is the 504 was an Internet port.

spid 1 is usually a system process. I don't think I have ever seen a user process using spid 1. At the moment, I see a process called "SIGNAL HANDLER" as spid 1.
