"Get to the bottom of this" I'm not sure, but one thing
seems fishy.....

Since ls knows that "smokeping" is a defined username, and if ps
shows:

... then what's the "106" doing at the beginning of
that line?  Are you trying to show that the smokeping process is
running as UID 106, and ps is unable to map that UID to a
username?  Or some other reason the apache processes show a
username and the smokeping process doesn't?
