Date: Fri, 21 Feb 1997 18:20:10 +-200 Encoding: 19 TEXT Sender: owner-isp@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I some questions, that nobody can seem to answer while : ; do mkdir x cd x done 1. How can you prevent users from running this in their home directory, without cutting off their shell account 2. How can you get rid of the directory once it has 300 or so subdirectories. The shell keeps saying there is no such directory, and nothing seems to delete it. I tried moving it to a floppy, but it worked for 45 minutes and I didn't want to burn out the drive. As Always, If you send your address with your answer, I'll send you 20 Soviet Roubles, Thanks for reading,... Dave
