My system is running low on space in /.  After the system was built, I had
about 50% free.  I haven't added anything substantial to the system since I
built it but now the system is at 108%.

I have looked at the disk and found files *.core files that appear to be
rather large.  File names are syslogd.core, inetd.core, telnetd.core, and
tcsh.core. They appear to be binary files.  Are these files from core dumps?
I don't even know if I've had a core dump or not but I have powered off the
system without shutting down properly.  Can these files be safely deleted?

Thanks,

Drew
