That's all normal.  For application with multiple threads using
linux's process and thread management, threads show up as
lightweight processes.

Apache is configurable to set the number of processes.  Look in
your httpd.conf.  Its easy to spot.

Don't know about the rest but I think its pretty normal.  Only
run the servers that you need though.  So if you don't need named
running, stop it.

Subject: multiple occurances of a single service


the server i've set up here at work is doing a lot of work, but
it seems
that it's doing more than it should.  it's running the following
services:

  httpd
  named
  mysql
  nfs
  smbd
  atalk

but instead of just running one copy of apache
it's running TEN
and the bind9 has 5 incarnations running

now i understand that apache was designed to dynamically run
copies of
itself under high load, but TEN?  and right off the restart?

this wouldn't bother me however if i wasn't running into "cannot
allocate
memory" errors with my simple perl scripts.  is it possible that
i'm asking
this little machine to do too much?  running "free" tells me that
i've got
1904k of real memory available and 189460k of swap.

machine specs:
  celeron 500mhz
  128mb ram
  80gb hd
