Hi 

I have install wu-ftpd version 2.4 on my host (Sun Os 4.1.3), but when I 
do ps -aux | grep ftp I get:
ftp      16093  0.0  0.0    0    0 ?  Z    May 12  0:00 <defunct>

Questions:

1) What is this defunct process
2) How do I get rid of them (kill -9 does not work)
3) What causes this process

bye
