Are there any files in the /root/ directory with names similar to the
one it tried to access? It is quite strange for even a legitimate Linux
daemon to try to right a file directly into /root/. The file had a
nonsense name, like something that would normally go into /tmp/, or
possibly a log file, but I have never seen a log from a standard daemon
kept in /root/

Even if it was chroot'ed, it would be good to know which daemon actually
tried to write to /root/ in that manner. It may have a bug that should
be fixed.
