| Re: [PLUG] toy story2 nearly lost with rm* |
In the message dated: Tue, 22 May 2012 15:07:01 EDT, The pithy ruminations from Doug Stewart on <Re: [PLUG] toy story2 nearly lost with rm*> were: => => => Which is why you should always alias rm to "rn -i" for root. I completely agree, and I do exactly the same thing. Whenever I'm working as root, I'd be much happier reading Usenet news, and it's much safer for all my users' data. Sure, it has taken a bit of effort for me to keep porting the "rn" binary to newer OS releases machines since "rn" development stopped about 1995, but that just shows how important it is to use the One True Newsreader, not that heretical step-child "trn". By the way, have you found a way to get gopher to work with that new "https" protocol? Thanks, Mark "the 'rn' user's meeting is held at 4PM on the last Friday every leap year" Bergman => => -- => Doug Stewart => => On May 22, 2012, at 2:45 PM, drew craig <axcraig@gmail.com> wrote: => => > Hi all, I brought this little story up in our meeting last evening.
