(I'm totally guessing as to the component here) On 7.2 release, installation creates an empty mail file for the nfsnobody account. One example: $ ls -l /var/spool/mail total 8 -rw-rw---- 1 kaboom kaboom 0 Sep 17 05:55 kaboom -rw-rw---- 1 nfsnobod nfsnobod 0 Sep 16 10:05 nfsnobody -rw------- 1 root root 7780 Sep 28 08:55 root $ My guess is that it's being generated when the nfsnobody account is added?
> My guess is that it's being generated when the nfsnobody account is added? Yikes, you're right. 'nfsnobody' should have been added as a system account. I think you'll find dummy .bash* and .gtkrc files in /var/lib/nfs/ too. All of these can be safely deleted.
