    >From the FAQ URL shown in the error message:

    According to the POSIX and UNIX standards, the above command asks to
    display all processes with a TTY (generally the commands users are
    running) plus all processes owned by a user named "x". If that user
    doesn't exist, then ps will assume you really meant "ps aux". The
    warning is given to gently break you of a habit that will cause you
    trouble if a user named "x" were created.
