I think I had similar problem before but once I deleted files it never occured again. however, I have similar problem of having some data in / that I have no idea how they got there (they all have same date). All of them have http://goldpasstoday.real.com in them and the date is the same as realplayer install directory so I guess they were created by realplayer install script. Most of them look like pieces of httm pages: ------------------------------------------ cut here ...Dchttp://goldpasstoday.real.com//issues/01/05/04/1/home/clickthru_.rt....8B.: ...:........I...text/vnd.rn-realtext............................................ .......Cache-Control....max-age=86400.....Content-type....text/vnd.rn-realtext.. ...Date....Fri, 04 May 2001 05:49:07 GMT....Last-Modified....Thu, 03 May 2001 18 :40:07 GMT....Accept-Ranges....bytes.....Server....Roxen.Challenger/1.3.120....
