I just noticed that I am getting some odd files written to my root
directory. They are quite small but get written about 10 - 20 files per
day. Here is a long listing from the past two days:

-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 14 09:22 17687.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 14 09:32 18709.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 14 09:42 19435.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 14 09:50 19891.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 13 10:29 20135.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 13 10:40 20313.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 14 10:07 21698.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 14 11:07 25427.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 14 11:07 25539.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 14 11:27 27297.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 14 11:30 27613.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 13 13:41 29205.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 13 13:43 29307.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 14 11:55 29784.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 13 15:39 4287.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 13 15:39 4366.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 13 15:40 4445.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 13 15:40 4524.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 14 13:59 5644.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 13 16:21 6071.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 14 14:10 6245.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 14 14:15 6752.TMP
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Apr 13 16:48 7235.TMP

If I page any one of them, they contain the text:

[/]# pg 7235.TMP
poll: The system cannot find the file specified.

Does anyone know where these might be coming from?

TIA
