Question : Deleted File? user or system?
I am trying to find out what happened to a directory that has dissappeared from our network. When I checked the security log I see these events. To me it appears that this user viewed the directory and then deleted it and then moved on to another directory. The only thing that puzzles me is that it all happened within a second. Here are the logs events in question.

Answer : Deleted File? user or system?
The company providing the co-location is your hosting ISP. Ask them if they do anything to prevent IP address spoofing [of your assigned addresses].
