In logging i see apache httpd

[dreamfox]

Dear readers,

I was wondering. I found somewhere that apache proces is running under useraccount
So when i check server i see in for example when i do TOP -i:

user: command

user1 - httpd
user1 - httpd
user2 - httpd

that looks good
but i also see:

apache - httpd
apache - httpd

Are those connections not from websites (users)

Nothing to worry about if you are using mod_ruid (maybe the same with suphp, I'm not sure). So in most cases.

At least with mod_ruid you will see the accountnames of http processes being used by that account, like a php based forum or wordpress etc..
If everything is ok, you will also see those connections being closed automatically.
The apache -httpd connections are others, from the system like from webmail or something like that.
