} I know but people tend to make it huge by trying to copy things around :-)

     Do we really care about people doing the wrong thing.  It is next
to impossible to protect the system from incompetent admins.  I don't
think we should greatly complicate the system just on the off chance
that an admin might do something silly.  Especially since making
lastlogx a db would greatly increase its size for the people that do
the right thing and leave it alone.  I.e. this would actually penalise
people that do the right thing, which would be bad.
