I normally don''t bet, but I'd wager that those lines actually
read httpd which is apache's code name when in runs.. _you_ probably
don' need those running, but part of a redhat installation is apache..
It's a web server.. Try typing lynx localhost, and you can connect
to your machine.
They start off by running a number specified in httpd.conf, which is
somewhere on redhat-- Richard? -- it's in /etc/apache on my debian
machines.. The reason for a bunch running is so that if you get a lot
of connections at once, apache isn't totally ambushed...
Oh. the other place I remeber that apache config files used to be in
is /var/lib/apache
also If you have 1-15 minutes to kill (dpending on size of disk
and speed of machine )
find / -name httpd.conf
will tell you where the files are.
Also, if you try to kill them, they will probably create more..
to stop apache you want
apachectl stop

There's nothing to stop you from having a nearly infinite number of
users logged on at once( except memory and cpu ).
