jails Jailed MySQL process showing up in hosts process list

[bryanjlaz]

I am running a jailed Apache web server along with mysql server and I noticed that there is a process for mysql showing up on the host. Actually two of them. I wouldn't think this is normal, and potentially a cause for concern. I'm pretty much a hobbiest / should have pursued a career path in programming / development so I'm not as well seasoned as some but I get around pretty well. I can provide more info, just wanted to get a general idea of the situation.

It's normal. Add -J0 to ps(1) if you only want to see the host's processes.

     -J	     Display information about processes which match the specified
	     jail IDs.	This may be either the jid or name of the jail.	 Use
	     -J	0 to display only host processes.  This	flag implies -x	by de-
	     fault.
