Why does ps aux displays a number instead of a username
Issue
- Unable to view username on
psoutput
ps -ef | grep -i testusers
- It is working with user id of that user
ps -ef | grep -i 512
- Why username is not displaying in
ps -efcommand.
[root@localhost ~]# ps -ef | grep testusers
root 23278 22322 0 04:54 ? 00:00:00 sshd: testusers [priv]
512 23280 23278 0 04:54 ? 00:00:00 sshd: testusers@pts/1
root 23303 22890 0 04:55 pts/2 00:00:00 grep testusers
[root@localhost ~]#
[root@localhost ~]# getent passwd testusers
testusers:x:512:513::/home/testusers:/bin/bash
