Okay. Before I ask any more questions on this list, I'll have to read more on the linux filesystem and the importance of each file.
On FreeBSD at least, you can 'man hier' and get a good description of what files should be put in what places. The LSB specification covers this ground for many linux systems (Red Hat derivatives particularly), and Debian (which Ubuntu is based off of) incorporates some of this and has their own. In this case, if the file in /var/run is not a binary or some hidden directory where a bunch of trash is dumped (the latter being obvious and the former easily detected by the 'file' command), or a symlink to either, you can probably bet it's harmless. /var/run is pretty much the same on any unix system. -- Erik Hollensbe [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
