They found the script. I've changed the details to protect the #@%#$.
rsh mymachine "cd /dir/that/does/not/exist/ ; /usr/bin/find . -name 'a.*'
-exec /usr/bin/rm -f {} \;"
Run as root (as opposed to the user which owned the directory which no
longer existed; p.s. - that user no longer existed, either).
First I laughed, then I cried. I can't even begin to describe how many ways
that script violates basic tenets of intelligent thought.
Groo, I challenge you to top this story (and will certainly enjoy the story,
anyway).
