[Planetlab-users] problematic link may be in your slice - please delete them if found

[Sedayao, J. <jef...@in...>]

PlanetLab Users:

Please delete the following file /etc/cron.hourly/rootstock-cron in your =
slice for the hosts listed below if it exists.  This file (a link, =
actually) is known to have caused problems with files, among them your =
/etc/sudoers file .  The link was placed there by a problem in some =
PlanetLab slice creation software, not by anything that you did.  That =
problem is now fixed, but the link is still present on a large number of =
nodes in a number of slices.  We prefer not to delete files that live in =
users' slices, so we advise that you delete it.

Since the link is owned by root, you can use the sudo program to delete =
it.

We have found the link on the following hosts, but please note that not =
all slices on the hosts will have it:
