I just got this mail:

From: root@moni.msci.memphis.edu (Cron Daemon)
To: root@moni.msci.memphis.edu
Subject: Cron <root@moni> /usr/sbin/tmpwatch 240 /tmp /var/tmp
X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/bash>
X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin>
X-Cron-Env: <MAILTO=root>
X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/root>
X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=root>

error: error: inode information changed for No such file or directory!!!this indicates a possible intrusion attempt

Is it possible that this is just caused by moving /tmp to a different
disk and now I have the link

tmp -> /disk02/tmp/

Thanks
