/root directory - date keeps changing???
I recently activated tripwire on my redhat 9 box.
Tripwire reports that the time and date of the directory /root is being modified. Also the file inside root called .viminfo is also changing checksum and being modified.
I tried to google some answers but had no luck so far.
Is this normal behaviour for a linux system?
