Re: security

It is not a standard system dir/file.
1. What is your root's home directory? if it is /, this can be a directory of some sort of software used by root
or...
2. Someone is on your system and collecting passwd file :)

Re: security

I think he's talking about
/.secure/etc/

Which from what I can tell by the files, that it has to do with system level auditing.

Re: security

Sorry about the second post here, but check out #man audsys

It talks about the directory (if your talking about the one I *think* your talking about)
