On one of my fully patched RHEL4 AS servers I have a duplicate
/proc/net/ip_conntrack_expect showing up in directory listings. I only
found it because tripwire was complaining, but a directory listing
confirmed it.

It's good that they seem to have the same inode. I have tried a 'mount
-o remount /proc' but the duplicate persists. I also mounted proc
elsewhere and the duplicate shows there as well. So far this doesn't
seem to be a serious problem, but what's going on?
