Dear All,
I have several CentOS 7 machines (but not all of them) on which I have
noticed that something gets written to
/root/.cache/mesa
every so often (once every several days). It is my understanding that
mesa is related to GUI (X11), but on these machines (on neither of my
machines, actually) root never logs in to GUI X11. I may have remote
root logins with Xforwarding though. Hence my puzzle: what is that that
writes to /root/.cache/mesa? Some, but not all of occasions seem to
happen upon machine [re]boots.
Thanks.
Valeri
PS This gives me dejavu. A while ago when people started demanding to
have google chrome browser installed on their workstations I had hard
time to get rid of google's cron jobs that were writing where only root
should - without explicit permission to do so. Dough. Somebody's
software thinks it is smarter than everyone who uses it... "Machine
learning" all the way ;-)
