Hi Chris,
in /tmp I find 9 sub directories:
.ICE-unix
.X11-unix
.esd
.font-unix
.sawmill-john
.sawmill-root
ksocket-john
orbit-john
orbit-root
and several .bak files for a finance program i use (CBB) - these files
are small. And there is a series of executables starting with "mcext"
sequence, as in mcextium211. Again these are small. Plus there is a
x0-lock file. Needless to say I have no idea what these do.
any ideas?
