Hi,
I'm using lsof -i -n "tcp@<ipaddr>:ftp" in a check script to see
if a daemon is still running. In the USER field of the LISTEN
output line I expect "root". But: when there is another user in
/etc/passwd with uid 0 -- a user listed *after* root, that is on
Why?
line 1 -- lsof sometimes (!) gives that other username back in
its USER column i.s.o. "root".
Is this an lsof problem, a getpwuid problem, or shouldn't this be
considered a problem at all?
I always thought that getpwuid returns the first record matching
the uid (I always see "ls" showing the primary names for a uid)
and I would expect that lsof just calls getpwuid.
Thanks for any help,
