new? files

[Isabel Danforth]

I guess that I had allowed my Netscape (6.1) on my home pc do
auto updating.  A few days ago I saw a message about updating registry
settings or something like that.

Meanwhile, I see several files in my user directory that are being updated
with each use of Netscape.

These include not just cookies.txt and netscape.hst,  but prefs.js,
liprefs.js and secmod.db

Anyone know what these last 2 files are doing?

I did go into my preferences and uncheck 'enable SmartUpdate'.
