I think, this is a nice feature
(unless, of coarse, you have to be dealing with Windows.)
It's nice to have an alert, that somebody created
a file with the name which is most probably should not exist on
a Unix box.
Thus, this suggestion should not be implemented, but should really be an
option to choose, if one needs.
Using this opportunity want to mention a small bug related to
/etc/daily.
I noticed this an year ago. Once an year you will not receive
you daily report. Because the default time is 2:00,
/etc/daily never runs on the day when we have a change of date
in spring, or runs twice in autumn. (or something like that, I
forgot the details)
Thus, I think it would be wise to change it to 0:45, for example.
