Author ps aux gives #28 for user

I may have missed something in the update books, but when I do 'ps aux'
I get

#98 617 0.0 0.7 26884 820 ? S Aug20 0:00
#27 758 0.0 1.9 28872 2200 ? S Aug20 0:00


Now I know what the rest of the stuff is and I cut off what the actual
process is, know that too. What the heck is that first one? It catches
my attention because I'm used to seeing usernames there.

No read access to /etc/passwd?
If the user id can't be resolved to a name, you will just see the id.
