Absolutely. Gabor is completely right. I'll just repeat what I
initially reported:

lsof says:

rc        1119 root  mem       REG    8,9  217016   228931 /var/db/nscd/passwd

So the process is (in lsof's namespace) called rc.

ps -ef says (notice the same pid):

root      1119     1  0 12:47 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/init.d/rc 6

So yes, we're speaking of /bin/sh here. On my system it is symlinked
to: /bin/sh -> bash

And yes, I do have separate /var partition on all of my machines. So
that is the reason why you (and many others) had trouble reproducing
this interesting problem, while I was seeing it everywhere.

Thanks for your cooperation.
