User accounts with a leading _ are generally system level users, created for daemons and such. The _fpsd user runs a couple of the iTunes daemon processes. /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreFP.framework/Versions/A/fps /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreADI.framework/adid I think these only run when iTunes is active. Not sure why they are showing up in the GUI, but it’s not something to be concerned about. -- Apple broke AppleScripting signatures in Mail.app, so no random signatures. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
