mingetty ?

I am doing cleanup on one of my servers as the other system admin is no longer available. I am finding a file with his name in the root directory with stuff in it that I am not able to recognize.

Example:

8251 tty1 S 0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty1
8252 tty2 S 0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty2
8253 tty3 S 0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty3
8254 tty4 S 0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty4
8255 tty5 S 0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty5
8256 tty6 S 0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty6
Any idea what this is all about?

I am also seeing things like:

25105 ? S 0:00 cupsd
16903 ? S 0:00 sshd: hisusername [priv]
16945 pts/0 S 0:00 su -
16947 pts/0 S 0:00 -bash
27074 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/exim -Mc <<somenumbercodehere>>
27148 pts/0 R 0:00 ps x
Would welcome any feedback.

Thanks.

Christoph
