	When I did a system wide find for setuid programs, I noticed
something weird in /proc. It said something like:

/proc/1466/file

	This "file" program was setuid root, but disappeared within
seconds, so I don't know what it's purpose was.

	Can anyone explain this? I'm somewhat worried that it may
be a possible security hole.

Thanks.
