These links makes no sense, at least not on a reasonable updated lirc.
The /dev/lirc? devices are lircd input stuff whereas the /var/run//lircd
devices are lircd output sockets. Linking input to output is, well, not
ideal.
Partly due to the the bad linking, partly due to the sheer age I'mn
closing this one.

Title:
lirc does not configure IR transmitter properly
Status in lirc package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: lirc
I am using Kubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10
I have a Hauppauge 350 and IR blaster, my lirc is setup with:
- Hauppauge HVR-1300
- Serial Port (UART) : Motorola cable box
When the the script /etc/init.d/lirc start it automatically links:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2009-10-24 21:36 /dev/lircd -> /var/run/lirc/lircd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2009-10-24 21:39 /dev/lircd1 -> /var/run/lirc/lircd
instead of
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2009-10-24 21:36 /dev/lircd -> /var/run/lirc/lircd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2009-10-24 21:39 /dev/lircd1 -> /var/run/lirc/lircd1
I had to change it in /etc/init.d/lirc (see attached)
