Hi, I'm getting files with random names created in my home directory, last one was: s5EZVJ and they always have the same content: "Hello World", is anyone else getting the same?

Since when did this start happening? Also, who else apart from you has access to this machine? PS: And no at least i am not experiencing this issue.

no ... i am definitely not getting anything like this, and i would be _extremely_ surprised to learn of anyone else with this rather odd "problem". it sounds like you have some rogue (test?) script running that never got killed, or similar ... i'd start grepping the FS, the output of `lsof`, and other /proc magic files for references to you homedir and/or the words 'Hello' or 'World'. maybe use inotify or similar to catch the offender red-handed. maybe others have more specific/concrete suggestions. ... at the risk of sounding like an ass, this post made me laugh pretty hard :-) C Anthony
