Now, a lot of libs went missing from /usr/local/lib. With libchk, last
locatedb I've been able to reinstall most of the libs.
My ~/ *seems* unaffected, but I'm worried about that, I don't notice
anything missing, but I could be wrong.
What I'm thinking is the rm -rf found no 'cd' and moved to wipe out
/usr/local/lib Would this be a correct assumption?

Hi Jimmie,
Out of curiousity, what were you trying to do when you issued that command?
And this reminds me of an equally stupid thing I did a few years ago.
I had a directories named share on three different partitions. These
were for files that I and my then current gf shared. At one point I
wanted to clean them all out, and issued this command:
find -s / -type d -name share -exec rm -Rd {}/* \; -exec rm -Rd {}/.* \;
Fortunately I had backups. And after that I renamed those share
directories to something else.
And yes, I too sat in the stupid corner.
