No Brian, that's wrong. This isn't Microsoft, or some other OS that
protects you from yourself. Unix/Linux will happily "give you enough
rope to shoot yourself in the foot". I haven't misread anything, you
need to learn more about what you're playing with before you blindly
screw up your own system, and then blame the tools for your mistake.

I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, I'm trying _very_ hard to keep this
response professional and neutral. When I made similar mistakes 15 years
ago, I got told _once_ what I did wrong, and if I didn't get the hint,
people would usually just plonk you and move on. :-)

Long and short - you need to learn more about what you're doing before
you go blaming the tools that are working _exactly_ as they are
designed. That isn't a bug, that is MOST definately a FEATURE.
