This is a bug in ymessenger which causes these type of files to be created in the directory where ymessenger is started... I'm guessing that you start ymessenger in this fashion... cd /opt/ymessenger/bin ./ymessenger & This should be fixed in the next release ymessenger from yahoo. until then a work around is to delete your ~/.ymessenger directory and re-enter your details. (save your history and stuff if you need it.) Kingsly -- ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: DEDICATED SERVERS only $89!
