Looks like it:

# ls -l /dev/lirc*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     5 2009-04-21 14:25 /dev/lirc -> lirc0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 61, 0 2009-04-21 14:25 /dev/lirc0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 61, 1 2009-04-21 14:32 /dev/lirc1
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root     0 2009-04-21 14:32 /dev/lircd
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root     0 2009-04-21 14:32 /dev/lircd1

As near as I can tell:

# ps wwuax | grep lircd
root      3787  0.0  0.0  26624   508 ?        Ss   14:32
0:00 /usr/sbin/lircd --device=/dev/lirc0
root      3800  0.0  0.0  26624   560 ?        Ss   14:32
0:00 /usr/sbin/lircd --driver=default --device=/dev/lirc1
--output=/dev/lircd1 --pidfile=/var/run/lircd1.pid

May be an issue later but for now I am running everything as root.

I'm sure it's something stupid but I just haven't been able to figure it
out and I've been working on it off and on all day.
