Well, alrighty then. The first 2, I thought might be ok. But bitearn really sounds like something used for cryptomining.

Those files have been part of LISTSERV since 1986.  They were originally named using the 8x8 file naming convention under VM/CMS.  There was no reason to change the names when LISTSERV was ported to the “workstation” operating systems, thus they remain with those names to this day.

I have a question on some files I found in the listserv/home directory.

Peers.namesum

Permvars.file

Bitearn.nodes

 

Seems to me, if these are legit, they could perhaps be named better.
