Yes, you are right, this is not policy (yet). If you believe this is the=20
best decission, no problem. But please note that most of the discussions=20
related to this issue is that a user might live files which then will not=
=20
belong to anybody. If vdr's handling of files is managed so that the files=
=20
it creates are located in directories that will be purged it shouldn't be=
=20
an issue (unless the admin decides to 'su - vdr' and touch files here and=
=20
there, but we can't cope for all situations).

Of course, that probably would mean restricting the GRAB command so that it=
=20
would only create files in a given directory ;)
