Hey there all.

On a 12.3 system I have sitting in a datacenter, doing mostly nothing =
but DNS service, I saw that I have moused running.

As this is a headless machine, and I think even the IPMI isn't super =
usable, there's no reason to be running this.

ps claims it's at:

root    958   0.0  0.0  11068   2356  -  Is   18Dec22      0:00.00 =
/usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto -I /var/run/moused.ums0.pid

And there are no moused_enable lines in /etc/rc.conf.  Service moused =
onstop gives me:

/usr/home/danm # service moused onestop
moused not running? (check /var/run/moused.pid).

I don't see anything in the manpage about things like "getty" starting =
this on the system console.

Can someone englighten me?
