Tracing symlink from/tmp


I have what seems to be a dangerous /tmp file.

Have a look and tell me what you think:
<snip>
title="harris@svn:/tmp$ crontab -l
* * * * * /bin/echo &quot;Hello World, I'm working&quot; &gt;&gt; /tmp/cronlog.harris.txt
harris@svn:/tmp$ sudo -s
root@svn:/tmp# crontab -l
* * * * * /bin/echo &quot;Hello World, I'm working&quot; &gt;&gt; /tmp/cronlog.txt
root@svn:/tmp# ll">

Looks pretty suspicious to me.

What does everyone else think?

Regards

PS:My /tmp is noexec.

I'll close it. Deletion is for spam and such.
