Once again the list has come through in spades and inundated me with
solutions. The original question:

I got 2 versions of how to figure out the offending process:
1. The builtin fuser command. (It works :-)
2. The PD utility called lsof. This critter is available via
anonymous ftp from:
ftp.arnes.si:/security/cert/tools/lsof
coast.cs.purdue.edu:/pub/tools/unix/
and does also to the deed.
