I have no idea where they sprang from. They look for all the world like Hungarian, but certainly look improbable. What are they

They are in the signature of Istvan Gabor, the OP in the thread about Alt+Shift and keyboard layouts. It seems to be some sort of advertisement

Istvan, perhaps you can explain what klikkbank.hu is?

Stan, are you running kmail as root?

Not that I know. Why?

Are you running antispam or antivirus as root then?

Again, not that I know.

It just occurred to me that maybe the files were created by some program that got confused by the character set in that signature

Whatever created the files must have been running as root

Nobody here but us chickens. And I didn't make them.

open a console in your X session, konsole, and type "whoami" w/o the quotes.

I know that it would tell me my username, not root.

The files are dated 2 February. I was dealing with efax-gtk at that time. I did run the program as root at least once. Can that be the source of the files? If so, I can delete them and forget about them. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I seriously doubt it. How could a fax program turn an email signature into files on the hard drive

I can't think of any way at all that anything external could have turned his email signature into file names. Is he associated with efax-gtk in any way? Maybe that's how he leaves his signature when the program is installed. In any case, now I don't see why I shouldn't delete the files. They have 0 size, and there is no obvious reason why anybody's email signature should be in my root directory. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
