Err.., I've just noticed that there are two similarly sounding dirs:
~ $ ls /
COPYRIGHT       dev             kernel.GENERIC  nonexistant     stand
bin             dist            kernel.old      nonexistent     sys
boot            etc             mnt             proc            tmp
cdrom           home            modules         root            usr
compat          kernel          modules.old     sbin            var
stacey at Demon ~ $

One was produced when I created a machine account (this server acts as the samba PDC here on my network):
stacey at Demon ~ $ ls -la /nonexistent/
total 20
drwxr-xr-x   2 <snipped>$       <snipped>$       512 Nov 30 13:30 .
drwxr-xr-x  20 root       wheel      512 Dec  6 18:27 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 <snipped>$  <snipped>$  771 Nov 30 13:30 .cshrc

stacey at Demon ~ $

So.., I'm not sure of the meaning behind your thinking that I should blast this dir

Do get back to me on this.., I'm very intrigued by this suggestion.

Regards,

Stacey
