Betreff: [exim] username get replaced with uid
Hi all

On doing a ps aux I have a line as soo

102      18772  0.0  0.1  10600   344 ?        Ss   May06   0:00 /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m


Further investigation shows the user name gets replaced with the uid

mail:~# cat /etc/passwd | grep 102
Debian-exim:x:102:102::/var/spool/exim4:/bin/false
mail:~#


I would like to know, why does it not sit like as so...

dovecot  24856  0.0  0.6   3240  1480 ?        S    10:15   0:00 imap-login


The username get replaced, is this because of the the hyphen or is it because Debian-exim is longer the a certain amount of characters.

Just something I was wondering.
