I am seeing a file by syslogd on /dev/tty7 in the lsof output

That looks like your problem. The "REG" says that it is a "regular file" when it should
be "CHR." What distribution is this? I know that syslogd isn't a userid shipped with SLES9 or
SLES10.
Interestingly,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# lsof | grep /dev | grep -v /dev/null | grep -vw CHR
rsyslogd 2027 root 0u unix 0xffff81007c9be580
4107 /dev/log
gpm 2400 root 0u unix 0xffff81003913a2c0
47165 /dev/gpmctl
sshd 2435 root DEL REG 0,9
5477 /dev/zero
sshd 2435 root DEL REG 0,9
5458 /dev/zero
pulseaudi 4618 summer mem REG 0,16 2097192
29916 /dev/shm/pulse-shm-2480567516
X 23044 root mem REG 0,0
4266 /sys/devices/pci0000 (stat: No such file or directory)
/dev/zero is definitely a char device. This is F9 (approximately).
