Hello, On my 5.3-STABLE systems I have a directory in /var called backups. A view of man hier says: backups/ miscellaneous backup files with files like: aliases.bak aliases.bak2 group.bak group.bak2 master.passwd.bak master.passwd.bak2 I'm curious, what process are writing these files to this directory? Does something depend on these files existing? -- Regards, Doug
