I'm setting up a new server (vps) on a cloud, it's a centos LAMP, with virtualmin as the control panel.<br />
<br />
When I logged into ssh today, and ran top, I noticed that top said there were two users.<br />
<br />
I did 'who', and get: <br />
<br />
root &nbsp; &nbsp; xvc0 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 2009-05-01 13:15<br />
root &nbsp; &nbsp; pts/0 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2009-05-04 10:37 (c-86-116-123-16.hsd1.tx.c<wbr />omcast.net<wbr />)<br />
<br />
The comcast one is me. &nbsp;The other one has been on for several days I see, and doesn't have an address on it.<br />
<br />
Could that be the control panel? Or another program, or me logging on a few days ago and the connect not closing right? &nbsp;What does the 'xvc0' indicate?<br />
<br />
Thanks for any guidance on this, &nbsp;Chris<br />
