Hi all,
Linux has an issue that I don't care for.
If a process is owned by a user with a username longer than 8 characters, a ps listing does not show the user name, instead, it show the UID number.
I'm just curious what causes this, whether it's a 2.6.x issue or a ps issue.
Belgarath which runs a 2.4 kernel and procps 3.1.8 doesn't seem to have this problem. My username is longer than 8 characters and it always shows a chopped version of my username in 'ps aux', not the UID.
Just FYI.
