Subj : What is this .sheep/ that appeared in my home folder?

Sometime this evening, a folder called .sheep appeared in my home 
folder, containing the files gen165 (empty), id (the word 'none') and 
lock (empty). I only noticed this when pon and kppp both failed to 
connect to the internet. My modem seemed fine, and an AT&F did nothing 
to help, so I went searching for unusual stuff in my home folder that 
might stop this. When I deleted .sheep, the problem went away.

Is this a virus or something? If so, will it keep happening, or was it 
just a one off?

Thanks, Paul.
