Beware xargs security holes

[Kim Christian Madsen]

Just my $0.02 to the ongoing discussion of:

	find .... | xargs rm

If you're really worried about *NASTY* users and embedded newlines in files,
why use xargs at the receiving end of find, and not just settle with:

	find .... -exec /bin/rm {} \;

Yes I know that it spawns a lot of processes compared to the xargs solution,
but it is also a secure way of removal of files with embedded newlines.
