okay, so then i think we're all in agreement to use -delete and throw out the -print0|xargs. i double checked on kFreeBSD and find is also built with O_NOFOLLOW there btw. so regarding the maxdepth/prune... not sure that we have agreement on whether this should go at stable/oldstable or not. do we limit it to unstable, or do we make the change and maybe add some notes for -security to put in the DSA? likewise, with the permissions change? sean
