That can happen if a process tries to write to a file but is thwarted by, say, a full filesystem. However, the binary files you mention are not files that should ever be written to except during the process of patching and updating. Therefore, if you can't correlate this artifact with a legitimate activity of this nature (by rpm or otherwise), you should probably suspect a cracked machine. - -d - -- David Talkington PGP key: http://www.prairienet.org/~dtalk/0xCA4C11AD.pgp -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.8 Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.75-6 iQA/AwUBPP6KbL9BpdPKTBGtEQIDpACfTjajwpm4EE6FHWE2jK3CXumcR1MAnA7Z 2UDM3F7EuZ/nBoQNyFhW1AYK =oz/R -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
