understanding apache and ps (resolved - thx anyway)

[Sean Kirkby]

Yeah, I looked in /etc/passwd, and wwwrun doesn't exist there.
 
It turns out that the wwwrun user ID is coming from Novell's NDS (this is a Novell OES server based on SLES 9).  It was apparently auto-created when I created the server.
 
What's weird is that I can make wwwrun the owner of files using chown, but I can't add wwwrun to groups using usermod (usermod tells me that the user doesn't exist).  
 
Thanks anyway.

How do you know that?  Have you checked /etc/passwd?
