Comment 5 for bug 357024

Stephane, I originally added -mindepth 1 to avoid deleting /var/crash/ itself in the cronjob. However, I think -type f -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 is a safer way.

So for the security update I propose to change

  find /var/crash -mindepth 1 -mtime +7 -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f
  find /var/crash -mindepth 1 -empty -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f

to

  find /var/crash -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type f -mtime +7 -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f
  find /var/crash -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type f -empty -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f

for the sake of minimal and well-understood changes. I'll do the more standards friendly version you proposed upstream.

(Disclaimer: completely untested yet, I just confirmed that -type f does not catch symlinks)
