                         USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND
    /usr                 root        598 ....m  pinger
                         root        649 ....m  wwwoffled
                         root        959 ....m  ippl
                         root        965 ....m  ippl
                         root        968 ....m  lpd
                         root        994 ....m  mysqld
