Summary: Got a question

We reciently deleted our sysdump.sys file.  Strange things have been happening
ever since then.  I don't know if it is a hardware problem or what, but here
goes:

	When we bring down the system, we find that when we come back
up, that about 50 files have been stepped on.  These almost always
occur in certain user's accounts (No, I KNOW that it isn't these
user's doing it.  It IS something else.)  I wonder if it has anything
to do with the Dump file.  We have a Double Eagle (Fuji) with an Emulex
QD33 (or maybe 32) controller.  Is this a hardware problem, or something
that is connected to my blowing the sysdump.dmp (or what ever it is called,
the exact name escapes me right now...)???

		Confused in Socorro,
