I found this in /usr on two FBSD 4.11 boxen:

One box is my firewall/router/gateway attached to a cable modem and the other is behind the firewall.
The 1969 timestamp and lack of file attributes is making the small hair on the back of my neck standup.
Is this normal? If so, what the heck is it?
Or have I been rooted?
Thanks!
