It only seems to be created by GUI related systems,  IOW, I've never ever seen it created on non GUI installs.

It must be some modified login adding it.

On Ubuntu an ssh login creates the .cache directory


On Slackware and CentOS it does not

(the .config dir was created by me to add in the .config/gnokii, else it wouldn't exist either  :)

/var/slapt-get/./slackware/a/shadow-4.1.4.2-i486-3.txz


on ubuntu, as usual they hack the crap out of everything, uses same version as slackware but ubuntu creates it

dpkg -s shadow

Package `shadow' is not installed and no info is available.
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
address@hidden:~# dpkg -s login 
Package: login
Essential: yes
Status: install ok installed
Priority: required
Section: admin
Installed-Size: 2368
Maintainer: Ubuntu Core Developers <address@hidden>
Architecture: i386
Source: shadow
Version: 1:4.1.4.2-1ubuntu2


I don't have/use debian, nor have a non-gui version ubuntu so I cant comment on if they create it.


Cheers :)
