tofmipd is running globally, and it is launched as root, but if I 
take a peek at the running processes:

$ ps auxw|grep tofmipd
tofmipd   5150  0.0  0.4  5164 3624 ?        S    Oct15   0:03 python 
/usr/local/src/tmda/bin/tmda-ofmipd

it shows it running as user tofmipd, not root.  Can ps be misleading?
