When I run ps –auxww in the tcsh shell (on OS X 10.3.9), the following is interpolated amidst the list of processes:<BR>

I noticed a binary called lp in usr/bin, but I can’t find a file named “</SPAN><FONT SIZE="2"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:10.0px'>Thai Steak With Coriander Pesto</SPAN></FONT><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>” anywhere on my hard drive.<BR>
<BR>
So the obvious question is, Where is this coming from & what do I have to do to get rid of it?<BR>
<BR>
Another weird question: When trying to run sudo, I’m prompted for a password. Evidently, I’ve forgotten whatever password I used to use for sudo. What, if anything, can I do?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks.<BR>
