Hey fellas.  I've got a funny file that appeared in the past week 
that tripwire found. Evidently on the 13th of this month, A file was 
created. It's  name is '..    ^H^H^H'.


Inside the file is some gobbledegook that is this:

Yf7p7s#t%joy*o
i8DsyFPPi:w

I've googled the web for it and found nothing (hoping that some exploit or 
something would have been found on the net, and explained).  

Anyway, I haven't noticed any odd behavior on the server, and I haven't 
found any rootkits or anything, just that file, so I'm inclined to think 
it was created by me somehow in some faulty/slow ssh session (which 
happens from time to time).  

Anyone think this is foul play, or just a stupid me?
