Hi all, |
2 |
I don't run telnet at all. I don't even have it installed on my machine |
3 |
yet tonight I had a look in /var/lib to try and find a reason as to why |
4 |
something else is failing and lo and behold there is a telnet dir. |
5 |
Having a look inside shows: |

Sorry for the bad wrapping, each new line starts with "May 12..." |

|
45 |
Does anyone have any ideas as to why there is a telnet dir with |
46 |
something in it on my machine???? Does anyone know of another app that |
47 |
might for some bizarre reason, create a telnet dir????? |

Any thoughts, greatly appreciated, |
