This is outrageous. Have you ever heard of backups? I can't believe you're blaming loss of data on this. As a system administrator you should be backing up your data on a regular schedule.

That's just proper procedure. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
