[ILUG] Strange file in /tmp

A text file called /tmp/sort3167900000 has appeared on one of my
servers with a date of a couple of weeks ago. It contains a list of
all files on the machine. Owner=nobody, group=nogroup.

Is this a by-product of some known legitimate activity, or might it
indicate a hack attempt, or should I look to errors in my own cgi
scripts for the cause? Only myself and one other have accounts
on the machine.

Thanks,
Barry Redmond
