$ lsof | grep anon_inode
anon_inode

$ lsof | grep dev/null
/dev/null

I find several anon_inodes and over a dozen /dev/null listings, in some 
listings for each there are several processes which are repeated. I'm expecting 
this to be a rootkit, but none of the rootkit scanners find anything. Why are 
these two listings appearing for various processes? I'm not running any virtual 
machines, emulation, shares, printers, servers, etc. but these listings 
continue to appear, it doesn't matter what Linux distro I use, these continue 
to show, even when disconnected from the internet.

What are they?
Why are they appearing?
How can I stop these from running? (if they're bad)

I've searched the web and cannot find anything which explains these to my 
satisfaction.
