We are using DEC UNIX 3.2G on two Alpha servers (2100 and 4100), and we
use Reflections X as our pc terminal emulator to connect directly to the
operating system. Whenever I bring up Reflections X on my pc, a
configuration file appears in my home directory on the UNIX box. This
happens every time that I log in, and the name of the configuration file
is different each time. The files look like this:
-rw------- 1 sspaldin wcis 8375 Jan 28 12:09 smdb-AAAaabpta
-rw------- 1 sspaldin wcis 8375 Jan 28 12:55 smdb-AAAaaceja
-rw------- 1 sspaldin wcis 8375 Jan 28 11:50 smdb-AAAaaknAa
-rw------- 1 sspaldin wcis 8375 Jan 28 11:57 smdb-AAAaaktda
and these files accumulate if you do not manually delete them. They don't
really cause all that much of a problem as they are only about 8K in size
each, but when 20-30 users have about 30-40 of these files in each of
their home directories, that does start to take up a lot of space.
I realize that I can set up a cron script or something else similar to
clean up these files, but there should be some other way to prevent them
from accumulating. I've looked through the Reflections X manual but it
does not say anything about the issue. Does anyone know how to keep these
files from accumulating?
Thanks!
