[byers@byers etc]$ which xfs
/usr/X11R6/bin/xfs
[byers@byers etc]$
[byers@byers etc]$ rpm -qf /usr/X11R6/bin/xfs
XFree86-xfs-3.3.5-1.5.x
[byers@byers etc]$
[byers@byers byers]$ rpm -V XFree86-xfs-3.3.5-1.5.x
[byers@byers byers]$
so things look ok i thought.

This 3-pid pattern seems to continuously being updated, really odd:
[byers@byers byers]$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs status
xfs (pid 14929
14932
14934) is running...
[byers@byers byers]$
[byers@byers byers]$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs status
xfs (pid 14936
14939
14941) is running...
[byers@byers byers]$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs status
xfs (pid 14943
14946
14948) is running...
[byers@byers byers]$
I guess your idea that the init script is fubar is likely
