I'm trying to run command lsof |grep services on my Solaris 10 to find any processes that have big files which are using up the disk space but i got a bunch of lines saying:
lsof: no pwd entry for UID 105
I looked at /etc/passwd but there's no user with UID 105 (I think this user was deleted).
What is the lsof line above indicating?

That's what the
lsof
output is indicating. There's a process running owned by UID 105, but when it tried to lookup the username, there's no entry for that UID in/etc/passwd
. Most likely the process was started before the user was deleted, and has been running ever since.
