Re: OT: Quick (?) UNIX Question

find . -name '-v' -maxdepth 1 -exec rm -f {} \;

A good thing to do would be to do the following to that particular user:

find ~user -name ".*" -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec chmod 000 {} \;

It would do wonders for his .profile, .kshrc, .fetchmail and .procmailrc files. The user will be very grateful for your help and will never do anything like that again.
