As far as I read the other problem, it pertains to the fact that the
find command can be misled into following symbolic links. That can be
easily avoided by adding the -P option to the command line. It is also
entirely possible to restrict the possible damage even more by adding
"-iname sess_*" to make sure the only files that are affected are
session files.
