Some shells will alias 'ls' with -a to show all files (including dotfiles). Other shells don't alias it so it hides the files. Are you sure they really disappear, or are they gone from a directory listing because ls is not being called with -(a)ll files displayed? I just think that your files are not being deleted. Something is just not being specified. Check system crontab file (/etc/crontab) and your own crontab (crontab -lu root) Change your root password, incase somebody's in there, deleting your files to hide their own tracks. chmod -R 0600 /root I agree that there isn't something "correct" about this, but i'm positive it's not a base periodic script that's included in FreeBSD Base install. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
