I happened to see this in my process listing:
mariner:~> ps -Hef |grep exim
iwj 6177 3473 0 Nov26 pts/6 00:00:00 man exim
100 3721 1 0 Nov26 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m
iwj 8620 4375 0 09:41 pts/8 00:00:00 grep exim
mariner:~>
However:
mariner:~> perl -e 'print join "|", getpwnam "Debian-exim"'; echo
Debian-exim|x|100|102||||/var/spool/exim4|/bin/false
mariner:~>
The exim4 package is:
Package: exim4-daemon-light
Version: 4.63-17
The machine was installed from an etch netinst CD about three weeks
ago and I have configured exim only via dpkg-reconfigure.
Ian.

Hello Ian,
Long usernames are changed to uids so they fit in the columns. There
have been suggestions to change from this POSIX behaviour to either
truncating the names or being able to set the length in the environment.
In any case it is documented and standard behaviour.
