But...er I already feel the noose tightening.. > I know that you don't want to hear it, but DON'T SSH to ROOT Ok, I got the warning... but don't be too worried because if I end up running something like `rm -rf /$SomeUnexpectedlyEmptyVar' It's a single user machine so no one else will be hurt by my bumbling. There will be no injured 3rd parties after your hide...hehe. (A moments reflection will tell readers here that I have probably done the very thing shown above, or it wouldn't come to mind in this reply, and they'd be right, but yet I survived) Seriously though I don't really understand why something that should end with a few warnings has to be embedded into the OS. I can't count the times I've read on these forums something to the effect... that `solaris expects you to know what your are doing', when someone complains about getting bit by something.. People should be trusted to use root account... in ways they see fit. Even dimwits like me can figure out how to use something in a non-injurious way after while. Will we have some warning embedded in `rm' that only lets it run after you've answered 4-5 queries `are you sure you want to delete that file'. "Are you really really sure" etc etc. That sort of stuff has always been up to the user ... to use -i if they want. OK.. Ok, onwards and upwards... thanks again for the input. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
