Hi -
I'm guessing that this happened by an overly friendly webapp, since the
processes are in fact running under the 'apache' username. I think that
if I were doing this - and I had a clue - I'd run this application under
a less conspicuous username.
You probably knew that. Couldn't hurt to throw that out, eh?
Thanks
