syslogd may be configured to send messages to that pty also. It's a
common prctice and probably not sinister.
I just looked through /etc/syslog.conf, and I didn't see anything about a
pty..
99.999% of the lines were comments.. except for this:
# The named pipe /dev/xconsole is for the `xconsole' utility. To use it,
# $ xconsole -file /dev/xconsole [...]
*.=notice;*.=warn |/dev/xconsole
so... what is xconsole?
