    Hiya all,

    Okay. I have users who are not "very familiar with these thing, you
    know" as they always tell me ;)
    Noone cleans their Trash folder when they access their mail via the imap
    server. I would like to do it for them, but I am not sure I get it
    right. I have read the man page of find, but just to be sure, can I do

    1. find /home/*/Maildir/.Trash/ -type f | xargs rm ??
    2. find /var/spool/virtual/*/*/Maildir/.Trash/ -type f -exec rm {} \;

    The * in (1) is like /home/wash/Maildir/.Trash/ and the * in (2)
    is like /var/spool/virtual/domain.tld/user1/Maildir/

    How are others dealing with this situation? Any good tools?

    And lastly, I have installed OpenOffice (yeah, that beast). When I am
    configuring for personal use, it says:

    [wash@beastie ~]
     1$ /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/setup
    I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale ""

    ..that is on FreeBSD 5.2-RC. What does that mean?

    if [ !== you don't hear from me again ]
     then
      "Have a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year"
    fi

    -Wash

The human race has been fascinated by sharks for as long as I can
remember.  Just like the bluebird feeding its young, or the spider
struggling to weave its perfect web, or the buttercup blooming in
spring, the shark reveals to us yet another of the infinite and
wonderful facets of nature, namely the facet that it can bite your head
off.  This causes us humans to feel a certain degree of awe.
