Non-active user running processes


Recommended Posts

I'm in the habit of creating separate users for every device connecting to SMB on my server, and only giving the permissions that are necessary. I have an old user, "phone" that hasn't been used in over 6 months. After I upgraded 6.12.2 -> 6.12.3 I happened to run the "top" command to see which processes were running.

To my surprise this "phone" user is running processes like mysqld, ruby, bundle and supervisord. This username has solely been used to give SMB access to the server, I really don't understand why that user is running any process on the server. Any ideas what's going on?
