[Coldstuff] Item permissions

So if what I'm looking to protect is in a room with +core then it's fine?
Or do the objects themselves need to also be +core as well?

Hallo Again!
    This is a good question, luckily the answer isn't all that hard. The key
lies in Cold's innate security stuffage. The +core perm on an object is a
special flag that protects it from arbitrary deletion or reaping. Stuff like
$void, $nowhere, etc all have this flag if you @disp 'em you'll see.

    The way Cold is set up you can only modify objects that you have
permissions on, so unless your crew all has admin rights (ACK!) those
permissions will prevent unwanted destruction of objects.

    Just a reminder: check to make CERTAIN your backups are working
correctly. About 99% of the time they do, but if you didn't set up
directories the way coldcc is expecting they'll be bunk. Better to check and
find out now than when you've had a crash and need a restore!

PEACE and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
