hi all,
Ive got this minor problem, Ive worked around it painlessly, but Id like
to understand it.
here it is in geek-talk.
[jimc@groucho jimc]$ su -
Password:
File size limit exceeded
[jimc@groucho jimc]$ sufix
-rw------- 1 jimc jimc 102400000 Oct 24 01:00
/home/jimc/.xauth/refcount/root/groucho.jimc.earth/unix:0
[jimc@groucho jimc]$ sufix
ls: /home/jimc/.xauth/refcount/*/*/unix:0: No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove `/home/jimc/.xauth/refcount/*/*/unix:0': No such file
or directory
[jimc@groucho jimc]$ su -
Password:
[root@groucho /root]# sufix
-rw------- 1 root root 102400000 Oct 21 12:06
/root/.xauth/refcount/jimc/groucho.jimc.earth/unix:0
rm: remove `/root/.xauth/refcount/jimc/groucho.jimc.earth/unix:0'? y
[root@groucho /root]# typeset -f
.....
declare -f sufix ()
{
for file in ~/.xauth/refcount/*/*/unix\:0;
do
'ls' -l $file;
rm -i $file;
done
}
why do I keep getting this file ? Ive got Quotas set, I increased the
limit
10-fold, but this bugger just enlarges with it. Ive been remedying the
problem like so for many weeks, w/o any instabilities resulting.
Ive even tried deleting and retouching it, then chmod a-w to lock it
down.
Ive not however identified when theyre made, beyond the dates you see
above.
I shut down X by ctrl-alt-bs all the time.
$0.02 bonus Q:-) why does rm -i not verify delete for regular user ?
