    Hi,

    I just want to know, there is always user named "nobody" in my process list. Actually who is the "nobody". Is it from the server or someone looking in to my server?

    Now it shows directadmin. Sometimes shows in httpd

    Thanks!

    "nobody" is a user, that many processes run under. Many applications allow you to choose a user to run under, however, control panels like cpanel and directadmin usually run under the user nobody, unless you have addition configurations done. If you want to know what command that user it running, use "top -c" instead of just top.

    Hi,

    Thanks for feedback. Now i learn that each processes will assign a user to run it. Am i right? The user will be assign by the configuration itself. Means that it is using by the application itself.

    By the way, where is the actual httpd.conf file located. Below is the many files that located in different directory. Which one is the original location file???
