I'm kinda new to solaris 10 and there's something I'm curious about. We use solaris 10 on one of our FTP servers. There are numerous active connections to our FTP daemon (WU-FTPD), but I don't see any in.ftpd processes using 'ps -ef'. However, I do see processes listed in prstat and connections in netstat. Why do in.ftpd processes no longer appear in 'ps'?
 
FTP is now run as a service in Solaris 10. Try the following...
Code:
svcs ftp
man svcs
 
That's odd, when I connect via FTP to my Solaris 10 box I get an in.ftpd, and then when I disconnect it's gone:

[tt]$ ps -ef | grep ftp
anni 1962 245 0 09:48:35 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/in.ftpd -a
anni 1964 1958 0 09:48:43 pts/2 0:00 grep ftp
$ ps -ef | grep ftp
anni 1966 1958 0 09:48:54 pts/2 0:00 grep ftp
$[/tt]

Annihilannic.
 
Yeah, the whole "services" thing changes the way a lot of daemons and other processes work. I'm still trying to get a grip on it.
