1. Can you stop top-posting? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Choosing_the_proper_posting_style 2. " Confidentiality Notice"s are self-contradictory on a publicly archived mailing list. > The question is, is it something to be worried about? 1. I'd be worried if there were something at that path. Would randomness of something be compromised if there were a readable file there? If there is nothing there and nothing can be created there, I think it is not much of an issue, though an interesting one to investigate. 2. If the file is opened by Java classes, you might try to run with a SecurityManager to find what tries to open it. 3. You might try to create a file there (empty? small? unreadable?). Maybe something would start to fail (with EOFException or similar), or will hang waiting for data (and a threaddump will show what it is).
