Well, what we do is run uuhosts when there are map files to unbatch
and install.  The bin directory for that is -- on our system --
/usr/local/lib/maps/bin.  There is no "rm" in that directory, so I had
to do it by hand.  (I will now install an rm there that just echos the
argument so I have a list of files... but it was pretty obvious.)  If
this runs from crontab as, say, news and user news owns the maps,
there is not much danger.  Or make up soime other user -- mapowner, or
something -- and run as that user when you install the maps.
