Yes, you're right. OK, I've learned my lesson: don't try this with one's home directory! This was a bad idea. Now *many* files in my home directory have been gzipped, and the original is gone. Couldn't ssh to the box any more since everything in ~/.ssh was gzipped. Ugh! Now trying to fix things up... Karl -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
