=>How much of a hit?
This is difficult to predict. It depends on the amount of disk space
a user has and how many files have been deleted. I just recursively ran
expunge on my home dir rm'ing things that are older than 1 day. It
took ~1.5 minutes. My home dir uses 6M of disk space.
=>or will there be some kind of date-checking involved?
When run from the central server, expunging rm's files that are older than
three days. A dot files solution could be implemented in a similar manner,
using existing options for the expunge command.
=>That a user could blow away a file by logging back in to undelete gives
=>me the willies.
The files still exist in OldFiles.
