Hi all,

Any idea what this entry on my Centos EL5XEN virtual machine might be, in
/bin?

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root  root     5488 May 12  2008 d


No man page, no useful info from "strings", no --help option and nothing
from yum whatprovides. It's newer than "ed" (and / itself) but older than
"grep". The only thing I note is from hex dump:

0000960: 0047 4343 3a20 2847 4e55 2920 342e 312e .GCC: (GNU) 4.1.
0000970: 3220 3230 3038 3037 3034 2028 5265 6420 2 20080704 (Red
0000980: 4861 7420 342e 312e 322d 3530 2900 0047 Hat 4.1.2-50)..G

If you put a directory as an argument it loops forever. If you put a file it
spouts gibberish.

Cheers!
