I have never known a file like that to be created. The . will make it a hidden file, and the # makes me think it was just to uniquely identify the file. It looks the the file is a link to /home/joegum on a machine named linux.13378.
I really don't have much idea about that???

Well, Joe was editing the file as you (Mark) asked him to. Joe seems to be really new to linux and may not have properly exited the editor and left a temp file behind or he is still editing the file. Take your pick. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
