Those are core apache process and it will run under nobody only. The php sub-process will run under their respective user if your php handler is suphp or fcgi

Hello

It's normal to see "httpd" processes running under the "nobody" username. Are you experiencing an issue with your server load or responsiveness?

Thank you.

- - - Updated - - -

also showed this , but datacaenter said there were no ddos attacks on the server

# netstat -n -p|grep SYN_REC | wc -l

websites on the server were very slow
