The bytes are the UTF-8 byte order mark (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte-order_mark). I do not know why they are getting added, however

We use log4net in a linux environment (OpenSuSE 10.2) with Mono. We utilize a RollingFileAppender which appearantly puts 3 or so Bytes (Hex Values: EF BB BF) in Front of each file. These characters interfere with our Software processing these logfiles. Under .NET we don't have this problem. Question now is if this is a known Problem which has a fix or if we have to modify our processing software to ignore these specific bytes Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards Johannes Frank
