safe-rm 0.4 adds protection for the root directory

Written for Safe-rm by François Marier on 2008-10-31

A new release of safe-rm is now available from the usual place.

The main change in this release is a fix for a bug that was preventing the root directory (/) from being added to the list of protected paths. Safe-rm is now able to protect you from the infamous rm -rf /.

I highly recommend that you now add / to your /etc/safe-rm.conf.

Thanks to Mubeen Jukaku for reporting this problem!
