I was cleaning out directories from my DOS machine (which nfs mounted my OLD 2.2-960801-SNAP machine)... and files were being left behind... sometimes it would get them all... other times not... I can't remeber if this has happened before... but I normally don't delete files from my dos box... :) just another data point... -- John-Mark gurney_j@efn.org http://resnet.uoregon.edu/~gurney_j/ Modem/FAX: (541) 683-6954 (FreeBSD Box) Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD (unix)
