Daily a list of some files of unknown worth (to me) keeps growing in the root's root directory. An example of these files is here: http://susepaste.org/56549975 What are these .auth* files and what purpose do they serve? By asking this I am not asking for an in-depth explanation of what they are or reason for their existence but asking whether they can be deleted before they takeover the space on the hard drive? :-) There doesn't appear to be any process which deletes them so can - or do I need to - delete them on a regular basis?
