I took a look at the /proc listing and this is what is contained for both:
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Mar 29 11:58 .
dr-xr-xr-x 101 root root 0 Mar 28 04:17 ..
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Mar 29 11:58 attr
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Mar 29 11:58 auxv
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 29 11:58 cmdline
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar 29 11:58 cwd
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Mar 29 11:58 environ
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar 29 11:58 exe
dr-x------ 2 root root 0 Mar 29 11:58 fd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 29 11:58 loginuid
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Mar 29 11:58 maps
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Mar 29 11:58 mem
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 29 11:58 mounts
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar 29 11:58 root
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 29 11:58 stat
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 29 11:58 statm
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 29 11:58 status
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Mar 29 11:58 task
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 29 11:58 wchan
Sorry if I'm being dense but I was just curious because this process
shows up in only 1 of my 2 CentOS installs (both are at 4.3).
This particular machine is a newer Dell P4 SC420 whereas the other
machine is an older 440BX P3. So perhaps this is a benign daemon
for all the newer hardware that's in the SC420 but I couldn't find any
information about it (googling for "x 1 0" returns a ton of useless
links) so I was hoping to get more info here on the mailing list.
Thanks.
