OK, Richard et al; I've got a weird one for you here. On Monday, I did an apt-get upgrade of my Woody box, built a 2.4.10 kernel, and started playing with X4.10 which kicks serious butt :) However, I have found a very odd bunch of files hanging out in / . For your viewing pleasure:
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 3 10:01 errs3cAjPx -rw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 4 10:20 errsBsXXgw -rw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 1 14:13 errsaNXMWD -rw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 1 17:31 errsnLgRvS -rw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 2 09:31 errsuYVBBQ -rw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 1 12:14 errsuyOfkj -rw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 3 21:33 errsvTUUTy -rw-r--r-- 1 mail mail 0 Oct 1 11:24 hash -rw-r--r-- 1 mail mail 12288 Oct 1 11:24 hash.db Now; I know for sure that the hash and hash.db are the product of my sendmail upgrade, as it told me that it was building a new hash. Lo and behold there's nothing in /etc/mail by that name. The time stamp matches all the stuff like sendmail.cf in /etc/mail, too. Any ideas as to why sendmail might put the hash and hash.db in / ? Did I screw something up in my sendmail.mc, perhaps? How about any ideas as to what the other stuff is? The files have a certain look of sendmail to them; like those strings that identify queued, unsent messages. Thanks in advance, Mike Pfleger There's seventy brilliant people on earth.
