I want to delete all files that have the pattern of "*.zip" in the directory /home/mydir and all sub-directories. rm -Rf /home/mydir/*.zip produces an error. What did I overlook? Thanks..... -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

However, I won't respond for "sticking up for myself" when I was flamed. The forums for CentOS set the tone for WHY I overreacted. Right or wrong, the vocal "minotiry" of any group sets the "public face" of that group. You can have 500 people, but if the 10 "loudest" people in the group act in a certain manner then the group as a whole gets the reputation of being that way. >Kind regards, >-- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- >[all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power] >_______________________________________________ >CentOS mailing list >CentOS(a)centos.org >http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Forget it. It's not worth all of the bullshit. I will just keep my documents and such to myself. I was gonna upload it to the wiki site. That's what I get for trying to be helpful. No good deed goes unpunished I guess. I will go back to lurking since the information that I wanted to impart isn't; this has been made readily apparent to me; wanted nor appreciated.

>>"For those of us who have neither?" > > Yeah. Because this statement doesn't give the tone of overt hostility at all.....*eyeroll* I see no hostility in someone asking a question that directly acknowledges what your original post stated: "For those of you that either have an older revision of my firewall document, or are otherwise keeping track of it, there is a new version available." He plainly asks what if we don't have the older version or are not keeping track of it, but are otherwise interested? I think you are reading in to it too much. Someone not privy to your original thread announcing the document shows interest, and you basically retort it's none of his business (and less politely I might add). Now who's the elitist? Ian

For the people that it was applicable to. Then people decided that because it wasn't applicable to them that they should flame me. It's attitudes such as this as to why people say, "You can never get good support with Open Source software." I came onto the list trying to be HJELPFUL, and got burnt to the ground instead. JUST like in the forums. I guess they'er right. No good deed goes unpunished. Now I understand why nobody has offered a document like this to the community before. It certainly makes me want to keep all of my future documents to myself. They're OBVIOUSLY only a bother to everyone and nobody wants them. >-K >-- >Karanbir Singh {kbsingh(a)centos.org} >The CentOS Project, http://www.centos.org/ >_______________________________________________ >CentOS mailing list >CentOS(a)centos.org >http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

CentOS Based Fierwall Document

For those of you that either have an older revision of my firewall document, or are otherwise keeping track of it, there is a new version available. The current version of the document is version 3.1. It's changed rather significantly in some areas.
