I commanded this while the hard disk drive is suddenly moveing so fast :
ps -aux
and there's "USER nobody" on the list and it runs several processes
including su.
What is this USER nobody?  Is this normal or someone's hacking my
computer?  When I
command  w or who, it displays only me.  I'm the only user.

Please help.
