[rhn-users] Interesting new process in the table

Hello,

I've been running RHEL 4.0 AS on one of our beowulf clusters.  During
the process of installing PVFS2 (Parallel Virtual File System), I was
having some strange problems accessing some device files in /dev.  A
quick lsof told me who the culprit was:

root     22526  0.1  2.1 35676 21996 ?       S    Mar28   1:11 -a 5

(mind you, this is a newer proc entry and the problem has been
resolved).

All I want to know is what exactly is this process?  My judgment leads
me to believe it is some component of udev.  Can anyone point me in the
right direction?

Thanks..

Brian Smith
