Re: filters and tidy

[Robert Shaw]

Mark,

Well, that almost worked. It got rid of the "Illegal attribute" error 
on the tidy command, but it doesn't actually delete anything now when 
I have links present in the directory.

I've attached a test-case (stripped down from my original file) that 
exhibits the problem. Basically, I'm trying to make sure there are no 
links in a particular directory hierarchy (/etc/cfengine in this 
example). When I create links in the /etc/cfengine hierarchy that 
point to valid items, it just doesn't delete them with the code patch 
you gave me. Without the patch, the command dies and gives that 
"Illegal attribute" error.

Please let me know what you find out. I really need to get this 
problem fixed (or at least a viable work-around), as I want to run 
this type of check for many other directories that I don't want links 
to appear in.

Thanks for all your help on this!!!
-Robert
