Removing Log Files

I've noticed that the method for removing log files (nc clean) tends to remove everyone's log files by default.  I'd like to recommend that this function be limited to the user's defined log directory for two reasons.

1) I'd rather that myself or my project team remove my log files

2) nc clean provides a potential security hole as it attempts to clean out all log files for every project that it knows about, including project shares that have nothing to do with the current user's project.  The security hole manifests itself by announcing all of the project shares that the tool attempted to clean out but could not.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and consideration of these observations,

David

David,

You're saying that you've seen nc clean remove files other than ones that you own? If so, I would like to see this so I can determine what is going on. Let's meet some time next week if you are available, or possibly have Jon discsuss this with me, as we are meeting anyway.
