I would encourage people to do what meets their needs. In many situations, the atime field is either not useful, or actively bad for performance. In general, *I* don't find the "atime" field to be particularly useful. Too many things (backups, file searches, etc.) will touch the atime field. For example, some of our systems do nightly full backups with GNU tar. Most files on such systems will have an atime field no older than 24 hours. But that is here. Things will likely be different where you are. :-) -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
