I'm seeing something a little wierd on one of our servers. A who shows apache ttyp0 Jun 19 08:06 (borg) gschryer ttyp2 Jun 18 15:08 (135.205.95.104) but gschryer is *not* logged in. Furthermore, a w shows USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT apache p0 borg 8:06AM - w gschryer p2 H-135-205-95-104 Thu03PM 16:59 - i.e. this "ghost" user appears to be doing nothing. If I do a "ps aux | grep gschryer" it returns nothing, i.e. no processes owned by gschryer, not even a shell. And grepping for "p2" also returns nothing, there aren't even any processes owned by *any* ttys other than the p0 I'm on. Huh? gschryer pointed this out to me, so I don't think there's anything sinister going on. But how could this happen and how (other than a reboot) can I make it go away?
