Managers,
Thanks for your replies; most people suggested that this was caused by one
command showing the effective UID and the other the real UID of the process
owner
This is in fact the case: ps -ef shows the effective UID, top the real UID.
Checked with 'ps -fe -o pid,uid,ruid,comm' , suggested by Igor Schein
Thanks to
