eejut,

A little search on google for your first file name, came up with this, forum post from a Mambo forum.

I searched for the second and came up with nothing.

Its most likely fine to delete those files off your server, as they are most likely log files like phppp said.

Or if you are not sure about doing that, contact your web host.

Regards,
CC

I have had a core file or two appear in the past and deleted them with no problem but you'll probably want to double check with your host or someone with more experience than me.

I do know that mine appeared after I had some sort of problem or error and they were on a site using Smarty (non XOOPS) - though I don't know if having Smarty was a coincidence.
