Question Paranoid question about a process.


After running " ps -ef " I get the following ( partial list ) of running processes

Code:
root      2942  2847  0 09:50 ?        00:00:00 hald-addon-acpi
root      3105     1  0 09:50 ?        00:00:00 /opt/kde3/bin/kdm
mdnsd     3177     1  0 09:50 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/mdnsd -f /etc/nss_mdns
nobody    3206     1  0 09:50 ?        00:00:00 /sbin/portmap
root      3214  3105  1 09:50 tty7     00:00:03 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -br -nolisten t
root      3226  3105  0 09:50 ?        00:00:00 -:0

Never seen (or searched) on my own system, but doesn't :0 refer to the 0th (i.e. "first started") graphical tty, the X screen you're running? Just maybe this has something to do with the X running there too
