Hey, I have been in the OOPS directory too. I was a little luckier depending on how you look at it, since I first do my routine stuff as user THEN move to root for those tasks that are required then back. After setting up my wonderful fax software, I had a ton of faxes in the queue during my testing. I simply issued "rm * /var/spool/fax/queue" OOPSIES But I'd already pressed the 'enter' key and the damage was rapid and silly. Yet I was only a user in my home directory. Here, an undelete would have saved a lot of local work and some great local humor files I hadn't archived yet. I DID actually go the alias way for rm when I'm root. It's a pain, but when you do work in the wee hours, it seems like the only sober way to do it. So, handholding or not, I think a garbage directory & undelete would be a pretty cool feature. Backups, yes, but even a local weekly backup can loose a lot of stuff depending on how much stuff comes in locally. So, if you're building an undelete package, I'd like to try it when you have it debianized :) tatah and take care -- Jaye Inabnit\ARS ke6sls/TELE: USA-707-442-6579\/A GNU-Debian linux user Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WEB: http://www.qsl.net/ke6sls ICQ: 12741145 If it's stupid, but works, it ain't stupid.
