If you're running a Red Hat system, that was probably put there by
linuxconf itself, which is probably running out of a startup entry like
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99linuxconf -> ../init.d/linuxconf. In which case, it's
not cause for alarm.
Also, if you're running Red Hat, you might want to use rpm to verify all
packages against the installation CD.

From the Jargon File: (v4.0.0, 25 Jul 1996)
finger trouble /n./
Mistyping, typos, or generalized keyboard incompetence (this is
surprisingly common among hackers, given the amount of time they
spend at keyboards). "I keep putting colons at the end of statements
instead of semicolons", "Finger trouble again, eh?".
