1. Delete the file and replace it with a 0-byte file. Change ownership to root so your user can no longer modify it: $> chown root:root /path/to/file. Keep an eye on it to see if the ownership permissions change or it grows in size again. Look at the system logs to see if any apps or kernel log an error because they could no longer write to it. 2. Delete the file and keep an eye on Internet usage for a download spike. If your router doesn't have the ability to see that info, you can probably keep an eye in the total amount of traffic received in the network info returned by ifconfig. Write down or copy & paste that value and compare it with the same output later. That will tell you if it's a result of syncing over the network. I think canonical has some cloud sync functionality built in, or used to anyway. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
