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?
