One of my user’s processes shows up with the uid (numeric) rather than the user (alpha) on the ps command.  The /etc/passwd file shows:

 

theuser:x:500:501:The user:/home/theuser:/bin/bash

 

But, ‘ps –ef’ shows the uid:

 

500       9041  8864  0 11:20 pts/1    00:00:00 ps -ef

 

Allother active users show the user.  Ideas?
