so I cd'd to /etc/ trying to find the log folder, and when I did an ls, I saw something weird:

mythtv@mythtv:/etc#
I'm logged in as mythtv.. but in the middle of the ls, it shows 2 commands I've previously run as root, and then re-lists some of the files. Even the formatting of the 2nd half is messed up (it looks fine in terminal, but this was a direct copy-paste, so the carraige returns obviously aren't present in the 2nd half) I've never seen something like that before in my 5 years of toying with OS X and other *nix's, and was wondering if anyone has an idea of what wouls cause something like that?
and to make it weirder, I just cd'd to /dev, and did an ls.. everythign was the same up to the root@mythtv lines, and then it listed the contents of /dev...
