I'll bet you left your system on overnight and /etc/cron.daily had a
chance to run. In that directory you might find something like
logrotate which said since it is Sunday, I'll rotate the logs.

If not, you might look on http://www.chkrootkit.org/ for code to see if root
kits have been installed.

You also can do a
    rpm -Va | grep '..5' > /tmp/verify
to see what has changed on the system.
   man rpm
to understand /tmp/verify contents.
