tail -f /var/log/messages and top



When I want to see error messages, tail -f /var/log/messages produces
this...am I doing something wrong?

enterprise:/home/patrick# tail -f /var/log/messages
Jul 28 07:14:11 enterprise -- MARK --
Jul 28 07:34:11 enterprise -- MARK --
Jul 28 07:54:10 enterprise -- MARK --

Also top shows no processes at all but pstree does:

I'm having problems with dropped connections and would like to be able to
use these commands.  If this is a RTFM, please do let me know which FM to R.
