Whenever some device is automounted by hal & co, it leaves a zero length file /etc/.fstab.hal.[something] behind:

Code:

sean@lois ~ $ ls -l /etc/.fstab.hal.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 11 18:16 /etc/.fstab.hal.5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 16 06:02 /etc/.fstab.hal.8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 22:02 /etc/.fstab.hal.E
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 11 22:13 /etc/.fstab.hal.g
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 11 18:17 /etc/.fstab.hal.O
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 11 22:13 /etc/.fstab.hal.v
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 11 18:18 /etc/.fstab.hal.X

Can I get rid of this behaviour somehow? (I know, I could just delete them in some local start-up script, but there must be a cleaner solution.)

Thanks,
sean
