Once and a while I notice that ftpd get's owned by root.

The server is an anonymous FTP server...

ps output looks like this...

     ftp 22534   101  0 10:07:27 ?        0:00 in.ftpd -a
     ftp 22530   101  0 10:06:03 ?        0:00 in.ftpd -a
     ftp 22436   101  0 09:52:44 ?        0:00 in.ftpd -a
>    root 22560   101  0 10:09:15 ?        0:00 in.ftpd -a
     ftp 20870   101  0 05:23:47 ?        0:00 in.ftpd -a
     ftp 22391   101  0 09:44:53 ?        0:00 in.ftpd -a
     ftp 22289   101  0 09:27:03 ?        0:00 in.ftpd -a
     ftp 22232   101  0 09:15:49 ?        0:00 in.ftpd -a

Any ideas?   We're poking into it a little deeper, I just was wondering 
if anyone out there had ideas...

thanks!
