- Lines: 26
-
- Many people have discussed many different ways to try and "automagically"
- keep users from storing files in the jan_receive area.
-
- My experience is, you can't! Intelligent users will sooner or later discover
- this "FREE" storage area. Unfortunately, some also pass this information
- along to others.
-
- I edited jan_sys:login.com to include the following message when users log
- in and files are found in the jan_receive area:
-
-
- >> NOTE << - Files older than 15 days will be removed from the system!
-
- Files stored in this RECEIVE area will be regarded
- as part of your disk allocation. This may cause
- them to be deleted from the system without notice.
-
-
- Every so often I check the jan_receive area and, if necessary, do some type
- of cleaning up in that directory.
