There was a thread about this some time back.. you can safely delete the file, then touch the filename and all will be well. There also was, I believe, a bugzilla about it somewhere upstream.Hi, Can any of you explain this weirdness: [root@machine log]# cd /var/log/ [root@machine log]# ls -la|grep last -r-------- 1 root root 1254130450140 Nov 6 21:44 lastlog [root@machine log]# du -hs lastlog 52K lastlog What's up with the output of ls? This is x86_64. Thanks, Morten
