Yes, you are right, this is not policy (yet). If you believe this is the best decission, no problem. But please note that most of the discussions related to this issue is that a user might live files which then will not belong to anybody. If vdr's handling of files is managed so that the files it creates are located in directories that will be purged it shouldn't be an issue (unless the admin decides to 'su - vdr' and touch files here and there, but we can't cope for all situations). Of course, that probably would mean restricting the GRAB command so that it would only create files in a given directory ;) Regards Javier
