Why the UID chain content in Guardium report contains "root" user information but user never used the "root" account to connect to AIX/Linux? How to interpret the uid chain content correctly? E.g I only used "informix" user to login AIX server then issued "dbaccess", but the uid chain looks like below: (1,root,/etc/init)->(3080192,root,/usr/sbin/srcmstr)->(3604610,root,/usr/sbin/inetd)->(7864364, root,telnetd -a)->(16711826,informix,-ksh)->(14352540,informix,dbaccess) Why there are so many "root" user information?
