-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
There is a critical bug in all releases of safedelete. The program
safedelchk incorrectly computes the date at which saved files will
be purged. There is a danger that most, if not all, safedeleted files
will be purged if the patch is not installed.
I've uploaded two files to sunsite.unc.edu. Their filenames are:
safedel-1.2-patch.tar.gz and safedel-1.3-patch.tar.gz. Both files
are in /pub/Linux/Incoming. Each tar file contains a readme.patch file
and a complete source code replacement for safedelchk.c.
It is highly recommended that safedelchk NOT be used until after the
patch is installed. If you have problems installing the patch or need a
patch for earlier releases of safedelete just send me a note.
