Did I say it may? I don't recall seeing the word 'may' anywhere in that sentance...
That being said, I could have used 'this may produce a broken backup', but I felt that wasn't strong enough knowing how it works internally. 'this will produce a broken backup' is more correct, but leaves out the edge-cases(i.e. tar finished but locked up somehow). So "can and WILL" it is. I used that because I remember seeing that turn of phrase elsewhere and thought it sounded nice.

Edit: Oh, btw, does anyone know of a good way to take a plaintext password string and validate it against the (DES encrypted? ) passwd file? I can do everything but the encrypting of the password to compare... anyone know a tool that'll do that?
