Hi,

This has been going on for a while and seems to happen regardless of what
version of Tru64 or DU64 is setup.

If you issue the command
find /tmp/
I get a strange file name appearing in the list like
/tmp/qvvaaazDa

or
/tmp/croutUJKaaaxwa
and if I issue the command again the name seems to metamorphose to some
other name.

I'm wondering if this is an insight thing or some other network thing that
may be running as part of a standard load that I have not bothered to switch
off. Anyway it causes problems for the cron commands that are trying to look
for old files in /tmp/ and remove them.
