[QUOTE="blixa, post: 825666, member: 94489"] If some idiot was careless enough to, say, delete /bin/rm, how could he put it back in place is OS X? The silly actions leading to this: $ sudo /bin/rm file1 otherfile1 otherfile2 Then I thought, "oh there's a file2 as well, easy just copy paste". I copy pasted the '/bin/rm' part as well, ending up with: $ sudo /bin/rm /bin/rm file2 Thank you, The idiot [/QUOTE]
