Your post are a bit difficult to read. It will help if you separated your text (in plain) from code and output (in code tags) plus some paragraphing/indenting.
Anyhow, I wouldn't have expected grep jack to show anything on your system as the probability you have a user jack is low. Try grep nancy.
A "prw" file is a FIFO (named pipe), here created by root/sys for a perhaps totally different purpose.

smd-client

smd-client(1)						 Sync Mail Dir (smd) documentation					     smd-client(1)

NAME

       smd-client - receives diffs and performs actions

SYNOPSIS

       smd-client [-v|--verbose] [-d|--dry-run] [-t|--translator]
	     [-l|--local-sync] [--rename-only]
	     [--override-db dbf] endpoint mailboxes

DESCRIPTION

       smd-client needs to know a name (endpoint) for the client (that must not be used by others) and a list of mailboxes (directories).

       smd-client  waits  on  stdin  a mail dir diff. It attempts to execute these actions, eventually asking data printing commands on stdout and
       expecting the data on stdin.

OPTIONS

       -t --translator
	      Specify a program to translate remote mailbox names to local ones. Note that the translator 'cat' (the identity  program)  is  opti-
	      mized away

       -l --local-sync
	      Local synchronization, no changes is made to the db-file since smd-server takes care of it

       --rename-only
	      Do not synchronize the mailboxes but generate the script '~/smd-rename.sh' to uniform the files names in the mailbox

       --override-db dbf
	      Use dbf as the db-file

       -v --verbose
	      Increase program verbosity (printed on stderr)

       -d --dry-run
	      Do not perform any action for real

NOTES

       smd-client is a low level utility. You should use higher level tools like smd-pull(1) and smd-push(1)

SEE ALSO

       mddiff(1), smd-server(1), smd-pull(1), smd-push(1)
