Are there file ownership changes going on? There shouldn't be anything like that happening. Every username is an unique user on the box and the only poeple with the ability to interactively login are employees are I log everything they do. > Another thought is that this user may have had files still open.

However, only one daemon can add or delete files and that's FreeBSD's built in FTP daemon. If the deamon isn't running (and it wasn't) then the file shouldn't be open (in theory). I just installed lsof and we'll see if that doesn't reveal anything next time I see this crop up.
