Bug Description

I issued lsyncd -rsync /src/dir/ .

As a result all files I had write access to on nfs-mounted shares where deleted and a sync of /src/dir started (on some of them - I sudo init 0'ed..).
fortunately, most of it live on btrfs and zfs so I could revert to auto-snapshots before the desaster.

I do not know, if that means whenever rsyncd is periodically invoked, it starts a sync on the active terminal prompt. Rather not, as places where wiped that I never navigated to in the session.

The 2.1.5-2 debian patches (code injection, missing escapes for filenames) may or may not be related.

I am afraid to check further, maybe if I have my ubuntu "current" vm back in order, I could check there, if nfs is involved or some other mechanism.
