Are there any patterns in the files appearing. Like an app you use that makes them appear? Or are they appearing all the time?
You can use lsof to find what programmes have what files open, and this could be used to find the culprit programme, but only *while the programme has the magic files open*. Use something like lsof -n |grep magic Hope lsof will help you here :) Crispin Wellington -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
