Someone on Reddit noted that there's a zero-length file named `1` in / on their F25 system. I just looked on mine, and I have one too. It's not owned by any RPM. And I checked on an F24 box, and it's got that too. Anyone know where this is coming from?

I believe it's gunk created by the Live ISO creation process. I've seen it pop up from spinning ISOs using livecd-creator and livemedia-creator. If you do an installation from netinstall or an install DVD, the file isn't present.
It was bug in binutils packaging. It's fixed.

Additionally I see a file called /null with zero length!
Kind regards

Same finding (/null) for me, too.

Yup. Okay, let's try this again. :)

FWIW: It seems to be created at each boot.

I see it's fixed now, and it's great. However, funny thing is, I remember this file being created in root's $HOME (/root/1) around RHEL3 or RHEL4 (not sure if Fedora at that time had it too).
Sorry for off-topic :/
best regards,
