Re: strange output for command ps
This looks normal to me. I believe 'ps' cuts off the USER column after a certain number of characters. To test, I just added a user 'stevesuehring' to a local Debian etch box and then logged in as that user. The ps output shows 1002 in the USER column rather than the name.
