What were you trying to do?
Just logging in. When I login, my first xterm automatically
checks for leftover processes from other users.
What's wrong:
I got this, generated by
ps aux | egrep -v "^ *root|^ *daemon|^ *acevedo|^ *USER"

I tried to kill them, but couldn't. (I su'ed, then did a kill
-9.) Even a kill -9 didn't stop them; they just stayed around.
This isn't the first time this has happened. I've logged into
RS/6000s several times and have this happen. I've only noticed
it on RS/6000s.
What should have happened:
They shouldn't stay around... note the different UIDs, meaning
this isn't a problem with a particular user, but more probably
with messages itself. (Is this the andrew messages program???)
