The problem seems worse than ever now, at 12.10 last night the server seezed
up again and needed a forced reboot as I couldn;t login via shell. Looking
around there are 20+ files starting the file******* e.g file9Ql4AK.

There is a web.log file that is 260mb on one of the sites but the others
sites (about 20) range from 1mb to 8mb.

Season greetings
