CMS - root using memory and running processes but not logged in?

[Stinney]

If I do a ps -ef | grep 'root' command I get a list of 114 processes running.

The who command doesn't show root as being logged in.

A prstat command shows root as the highest user of CPU and memory resorces.

We recently rebooted 2 weeks ago as well so I wouldn't think there would be this many processes potentially hung.

Any idea what's going on here?

Favorite all too common vendor responses: "We've never seen this issue before." AND "No one's ever wanted to use it like that before.

Did you get quite a few in.telnetd processes?
