WriteDir.tgz

[goran]

In MMP directory we have WriteDir.tgz file.

Anyone knows what it's for and if the machine is using it in that format, somehow? If not, can it do without it, please?

Have you looked at the contents of the file to see whats in it. Its should be a gzip compressed tar archive.

tar --ungzip -tf WriteDir.tgz

would normaly show you the contents without changing the file.

[goran]

Yeah, the Q is: if it is compressed - is it needed/used?

[neilD]

doing a cd /; find . -name WriteDir -print

I find the contents of the zipped archive in /tmp

MMP[/]$ ls /tmp/WriteDir/

Somebody/somehwere said that /tmp is created new on boot each time. If that is the case some process is installing it to tmp

Probably a plugin that read keys from the net,going by the name of the files
