I have another wierd question.  After having done a make world, when I
run "w", "ps", etc... all processes shown are in parentheses.  Why is this?

Example:

% ps
  PID  TT  STAT      TIME COMMAND
  425  p1  Ss     0:00.00  (tcsh)
  556  p1  R+     0:00.00  (ps)
% ps aux
USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS  TT  STAT STARTED      TIME COMMAND
sysadmin   586  0.0  0.2   412  240  p1  R+   -         0:00.00  (ps)
root         1  0.0  0.2   496  244  ??  Is   -         0:00.00  (init)
root         2  0.0  0.0     0    0  ??  DL   -         0:00.00  (pagedaemon)
root         3  0.0  0.0     0    0  ??  DL   -         0:00.00  (vmdaemon)

Etc...  The only ones that don't are sendmail and nfsd.
