Macports processes never go away

[Michael]

I've noticed that some processes for user Macports never go away.

Specifically, a distnoted and cfprefsd. And while they are around, there's a launchd that sits until reboot as well.

Is there anything that can be done about this, or is this just a side-effect of Mac OS that a user never completely logs out?
