ps command: too long usernames show up as numbers?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

One of the users on my system does not show up with
her username in the list of the 'ps' command, but
her userid number instead. The name is 9 characters.

Further investigation made me realized that the
user 'haldaemon' is also merely listed as '68'.

So: is my conclusion correct that usernames above
a certain length (longer than 8 chars?) are shown
only with the userid number in the 'ps' list?

I find this rather surprising....

Rob.
