The following reply was made to PR bin/48271; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Friedemann Becker <Friedemann.Becker@web.de> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, arlankfo@141.com Cc: Subject: Re: bin/48271: bug with find's -delete option Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2004 18:53:13 +0100 Find in fact is working as documented. The manpage says "[...] will not attempt to delete a filename with a ``/'' character in its pathname relative to ``.'' for security reasons." Maybe one could document what those security reasons are, but the code is correct. pr should be set to 'closed' or 'feedback'home | help
