I had a co-worker who made a mistake of sending a 36MB core dump file to an email list rather than directly to his supervisor. About 50 people got this file, preventing them from downloading their email, caused the email server to crash big time for two when all the disk space disappeared, the system administrator had to manually delete each and every email with the attachment, and my coworker had apologize profusely to everyone for a couple of weeks. The only bright spot out of this little disaster was that system administrator was able to get emergency approval to buy a new 30GB RAID subsystem that he's been trying to get for several months. After all, it only takes one stupid programmer to crash the email server, and whole a bunch of stupid programmers can make it happen more often. <G> Christopher Reimer -- To get out of this list, please send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ and the archive at http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html
