Excuse me for upsetting the sensiblilities of ppl. on this list but this
was posted to the list on march 16 when no details were available.

Subsequently I got the details and have archived them.

I really think that details should be posted as soon as possible as
I have been a victim of a alleged p0sse rm -rf and a lame system
administrator.
