Hey all,

Running Oracle 9.2.0.4 on Linux, I've noticed several files in /tmp owned by the oracle user:

BEQ10202 DCE10202 DEC10202 I1S2 ISPX10202 ITCP10202 LU6210202 NMP10202 RAW10202 SPX10202 TCP10202 TCPS10202 US10202 VI10202 BEQ29871 DCE29871 DEC29871 I2S4 ISPX29871 ITCP29871 LU6229871 NMP29871 RAW29871 SPX29871 TCP29871 TCPS29871 US29871 VI29871 It would appear that these files may be related to networking based on the filename prefixes, but I can't find anything about them in the docs nor Metalink. The only files with anything in them are the BEQ*, TCP*, and US* ones, which coincides with the installed networking protocols, except for the "US*" ones. It appears that those contain some sort of dump or trace. For example, the file TCPS29871 starts off with:

ntz.o:
00000000 d NZPKCS12_MAGIC_NUM

         U _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
         U calloc
         U free
00000000 t gcc2_compiled.
         U lxmcpen
         U lxsCmpStr
         U memcpy
         U nldsfprintf
         U nldtotrc
         U nlepeget
         U nlhthfre
         U nlhthget
         U nlnvcrb
         U nlnvdeb
         U nlnvfbp
         U nlnvgap
         U nlpagbp
         U nlpagsp
         U nlpagvc
         U ntctst
         U ntpafind

00006d00 T ntzAllocate
00007040 t ntzCheckServerDN
00001120 t ntzConfigure
000024c0 t ntzConvertToNumeric
00006860 t ntzCreateCipherSpec
000008e0 t ntzCreateConnection

Anyone know what these might be? Since this is my desktop, I'm really tempted to just blow them away and see what happens, but if nothing happens it won't be much fun.
