Is it really a question mark, or is ls using that to replace an
unprintable character?
If it is really a question mark, quoting or escaping it will remove
the wildcard properties:
ls -l '?'
cd \?
cd '?'
rm -rf '?'
Thanks Chris and Rikishi. I already got rid of it, but what you say is true. Before posting here I tried escaping it, which didn't work, so I guess it really wasn't a questionmark.
Anyway I removed it now and set the nosuid,noexec,nodev flags on the tmp filesystem to make life of the scriptkiddies a little harder. :)
