But be careful! Don't log in as root unless you absolutely have to, make sure that rm isn't set to follow symbolic links, and so on. I've so far only managed to kill one server by logging in as root and running rm -rf ./* at the command line when rm followed a symlink to the root directory from the subdirectory I was in (God knows why it was there). Thankfully I still have my job. Heh. Sliante, Richard S.
