I am not shure whether this is a bug or just my fault, but it happened
shortly after a friend of my reported the same problem.
He downloaded the sls-package in his directory /root/incoming, while
doing this he added a user with adduser, then deleted it again.
After some time letting the system running the files simply where not there
anymore!
He was very frustrated, phoned me up to tell me, and we had no clue why.
Then after I downloaded some things, I found some files I where shure not to
have deleted where gone too.
I panicked, and downloaded the source for 0.99p4 onto a msdos-fs, and the
compiling went fine - I am not shure whether this all had anything todo with
the kernel, but I am wondering because of the two incidents...
Anyone had any experiences of this kind?
